B.A. Robertson - Flight 19 7″
August 9th, 2006 at 6:06 am
I really hope this post will piss alot of people off. Robertson had little to do with punk except that you can hear that he was clearly influenced by it in such master pieces as this and Saint Seanne.
And it’s time to give him some cred for writing some of the most brilliant powerpop songs who’ve made it to vinyl. “…the last Flight 19, (1982), a #1 in Iceland! This track inspired a ground breaking music video directed by Brian Grant.“.
A great follow up to the Kursaal Flyers post If you ask me. And the way he look on the sleeve! Wow!

Saint Saens is the absolute masterpiece, especially if you’re from Glasgow
Provincial friends of mine
On Glasgow’s Evening Times
I just don’t have the time
To sit with you and discuss the past
The lagers we’d imbibe
The heavy diatribe
Hey pharisees and scribes
Which of us would survive the blast
Now I’m a media man
McCann and Erickson
Flat in the Barbican
Who’d wanna live in Clarkston?
Class lyrics.
