Saint Etienne: Foxbase Alpha
Jon Savage, Mantra Records, 1989
There are still plenty of real Londoners who sleep the night in London as well as work the day there - some in love, some in debt, some committing murders, some adultery, some trying to get on in the world, some looking forward to a pension, some getting drunk, and some holding up a new baby. This is about a few of them.
Norman Collins, London Belongs To Me, 1945
