i sure have sir. i do like the original album the best, though the re-issue will be welcome. i pre ordered it last week from hmv for 8.99gbp. that practising trouble bootleg is good. i've got a copy with 13 tunes on, great quality and a great version of the operation and the teachers are afraid of the pupils

it shows up on ebay every now and then. is there not a download forum somewhere on here?

Someone once referred to Southpaw as "the band's album". I think in a way, after the poetry and intense introspection of Vauxhall Morrissey came up with a quick lyrical "rebuttal" and let the lads rock out.

And someone else once referred to Southpaw as 'pants'.
And that someone was me!

The whole Southpaw period was really good. I don't understand why people knock it so much. The drum solo is often underated and I'm surprised Cozy Powell wasn't brought out of retirement to help out on that album.
