[kj] Bum's Rush

[Rob Moss]

Just picked up a copy in the original sleeve for 29 quid at a record fair in Cornwall. Sleeve is a bit worn but vinyl mint. 

Bloke selling it was from Cheltenham. He remembers Jaz from years back. He was in a band called the Deckchairs and he had the same stage presence back then!
