A richly illustrated Flying Nun discography - all the records from 'Tally Ho!' to Bird-Dog.
This is so thoroughly and lovingly researched and written, it reads with the narrative drive and immediacy of a first-hand account. This from a writer and fan who came to the Flying Nun story two decades later and from half a world away. It is a remarkable achievement, and another bizarre twist in the Flying Nun story that its first meticulously written history should be produced in such circumstances. (Richard Langston, Garage)
