Jon Stammers This is such a wonderful album. Harry's songwriting is superb. It's a real tour de force of a debut album. Great range and variety of songs, some silly, some heartbreakingly beautiful, some political, some soul-searching. The lyrics are simply brilliant and the whole thing has grown on me more and more since I first bought it 4 years ago. At first my fave track was Ban the Bomb. Then it was Jailhouse. Now much later it's Jon Lopez, which keeps on giving more. One of my absolute favourite albums. Favorite track: Jon Lopez.
