Hey City Zen!

So when I was rejoycing in my Vinyl collection in Lisbon last month, I was very sad to see that most of the Stiff records I had were pretty badly scratched! Most of them were my brother's, who really got me into Stiff (being the oldest one). I love this label. It shows that Good Pop is more subversive than Punk.

So I bougth the box set and I am in heaven! Here are some reasons to be cheerful -- and remember "If it ain't stiff, it ain't worth a..."
