Sad news about the loss of Alan Rankine. This album was constantly on my turntable after its release & I loved that whole period where The Associates were releasing singles of experimental sounding stuff before Sulk. He went on to do some pretty influential activity in music, but along with Billy Mackenzie, he was important in my life. ‘Praise be to chance, for meeting us here’ Alan…RIP. #theassociates #alanrankine #postpunk #scottishpostpunk #music #rip #theaffectionatepunch #boyskeepswinging
