The eighth studio album from Marc Bolan & co.

You going for anything @Noodles ?

Nothing really grabbing me this year apart from the lock stock OST which I might grab

The only other ones that I find decent are phonics and pogues but I’m not going to bother with them

Nah, same here mate... nothing interests me. The Lock Stock OST does look nice, but I'd probably never listen to it, so it'd be a waste of money for me.
