But someone once told me to check out Sleaford Mods, and I remain a fan of the output of the late, great Mark Stewart, and this sucker was a buck when I plucked it from the shelf, so I had to have it. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW I probably wasn't going to dig most of this. Even ten years on from publish date, the only name I recognize here is Half Man Half Biscuit, who I own a much healthier amount of records by/including than I would have ever guessed.
