No special reason for this post, other
than I've rediscovered the album and have been listening to it quite
a bit recently, it's a corker! Released in 2005, twelve tracks of no
nonsense Rock'n'Roll with something to say. It's up there with
Evacuate, Original Sinners and their debut as one of my favourite
Chelsea albums. Faster Cheaper and Better Looking was recorded by
part of what some consider to have been the 'classic' Chelsea line
up of Gene October, James Stevenson and Chris Bashford, unfortunately
Dave Martin and Geoff Myles were unable to take part., Bass playing
duties were taken over by Tony Barber. Anyway....for some reason the
Captain Oi release (The one I've been listening to) doesn't include
the two tracks Mr Ferry’s Son, which is an unprovoked but
legitimate and well deserved attack on the odious Otis Ferry, son of
Poxy Music's Brian Ferry and supporter of bloodsports and all things
upper class. Home is a cover of Iggy Pops 1990 single. So for
anyone else missing these tracks....here ya go!

Thanks for these tracks. I love this album but I don't have these songs and didn't even know they existed. Am waiting for that next Chelsea album.
Nice one Nuzz. Same as bat,didn't know they existed. Now here is thee criminally overlooked band of the punk era. Fortunately not by all of us! One band I shall be definately making an effort to seeing at Rebellion.
