“And I’ll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I’ll be on my holidays
They’ll be doing their rounds
They’ll ask me how I got her I’ll say “I saved my money”
They’ll say isn’t she pretty that ship called dignity”

One from the back of the box here. From 1976 some stonewall and little heard classics here.

Jayz we had that at home on cassette. David Dundas!

Bruce Springsteens only US No1 as a songwriter is on that record.

Blinded by the Light is a decent tune

It is. Brucie was in a hiatus with his management at the time and couldn’t release any records, just as he was about to break into global superstardom. Manfred Mann saw their opportunity and released a Brucie tune and reaped the reward.

I’d give it 9/10. I’m docking a mark because it’s too short. But otherwise it’s savage.

aye just 25 minutes! I’ll certainly give it a listen
