John’s best album so far; to quote Kris Needs in a review for The Record Collector:

“Sinclair’s core cohorts are producer-bassist Youth and The Dirty Strangers’ singer-guitarist Alan Clayton (plus engineer-keyboardist Michael Rendall). Different tracks also feature Howard Marks, Zodiac Mindwarp, Mark Stewart, Primal Scream, singer Angie Brown and one Beef Pilchards. Between insidious soul choruses over diverse backdrops, Sinclair barks, growls, rails, coos and guffaws with a roaring animated passion undimmed by his 70-plus years…A rare delight all round.”

In an email to Gerard Bellaart of Cold Turkey Press Heathcote Williams writes about this poem:

“Had a message from Marianne Faithfull…’Isn’t it time you wrote me another song?’ I said: ‘What do you want it to be about?’She said she’d been reading a book about Edith Piaf and was gripped by it. I said I’d have a look.”
