Good morning everyone - first post.
Manchester 1989, big lime green posters all over the city. ‘The Big E’ they screamed.
Obviously, everyone thought it meant Ecstasy. It really didn’t, E was for Elbow.

Sweet lord you may be right. One more for the wants list 
I settled for the reissue!
Yeah, I saw the prices of the first press and also noticed the extended version on the re-issue so am torn. I’ll leave it in the wants list to keep warm and may return to it at some point. Thanks for the heads up

I watched the end of Napoleon Dynamite tonight and came here to post the great melancholic 80s tune that was playing. Turns out it was When In Rome/The Promise. The very first post in this thread !! I thought it was a good fit to the brief.
Further investigation reveals the dubs / Ollie North mixes are incredible and pretty expensive.
Anyone got a handy WAV ?
