Sorry, folks – I thought I dropped a link into the OP but obviously not.

I’m not used to starting threads.
The link box in the new Obit board doesn’t work. It’s becoming a tradition to point it out as a comment on your own post.
I really liked their first three albums and I even upgraded my cassettes to CDs. I have no idea if anything is available but I would happily buy deluxe editions of those albums.
I agree they were under-rated, and now basically known as Bob Geldof’s old band.
First 3 albums were great – the energy on the first is a delight. Sort of Stones meets Springsteen meets New Wave.
Saw them a couple of years ago and they were great live.
The doco Citizens of Boomtown is also worth a watch
