If you can find a copy of the "Good Morning, Britain" CD single, grab it. Along with maybe 5 or 6 versions of the song (including a live version with Mick Jones), there's an absolutely stunning live version of Orange Juice's "Consolation Prize" featuring Edwyn Collins.
Additionally, the band's early Postcard singles are worth searching for. Low budget recordings with amateurish production, they personify the "twee Scottish pop" of the late 70's/early 80's.

Any fans of Aztec Camera out there? I liked their first LP (his first LP?),
the one with the great single "Oblivious". Haven't heard a lick since with
the exception of their rendition of "Jump", until I picked up "The Crying
Scene" maxi single from the used 50 cent bin. The title track is good, plus
a good version of "True Colours" and Dylan's I Threw It All Away". A few
questions -
- who did the "True Colours" song originally?
- is their debut out in CD form?
- is there an Aztec Camera collection out there?
- any other releases worth looking into?
