Manchester's poete laureate strikes back with a particuarly outrageous example of his recorded verse. The man who taught The Sugarhill Gang all they know has rapped his way through two indispensable albums, but this gem is all-new, and completely unavailable elsewhere.
The original punk poet has inspired many imitators - notably Eddie Steady Go, a London "Mod" poet who has even adopted a fake northern accent in tribute! - but the original is always the best, you no see't dread??
