But this was a party of two halves,
If the pies don't come soon Billy Wright might starve,
Bonnie Prince Charlie has returned,
With a Trenchcoat, an earring and hair freshly Permed
My favourite lines from ASBP.While Allan Wells haircuts were definitely in!
I think it was āweāre the future weāre the prideā?I can't be the only one who gets "We are Teeeeesssside / We're the future we're the past" banging through my brain at occasional moments.
Please kill me now
A man burst in with an arquebus,Rob hard sold a copy of the Shrug EP to the three other people in my car on the way to an away match (am sure Clem already had it).
I'm glad he did. Loved it.
(Honorable mention for The Van with Square Wheels)

Morning Rob
Yep! Got the CD as one of my 21st birthday presents and still dig it out today on occasion if we have a big game on (last was against Brighton the year we went up)https://www.discogs.com/master/926883-Various-Up-The-Boro-20-Middlesbrough-FC-Classics
Nope - not a Britpop classic, but an album released by Cherry Red Records just before our 1998 Wembley defeat to Chelsea with a list of Boro 'classics'.
Obviously the first 5 tracks on the album are/were well known amongst Boro fans but the rest stayed mostly unknown widely (I'm sure many of us will have been aware of the Shrug ones on release).
Stumbled across it in my collection recently, I know all the songs word for word (I was a teenager when it was released) and it is on Amazon Music/Spotify etc with some omissions (rights reasons presumably).
Yes I have it, My Middlesbrough music collection https://www.flickr.com/photos/140483650@N08/albums/72177720296020829
Top info there Lizards, thank you.Still have it in the loft alongside all my other CD's which I keep meaning to dig out.
International Strikeforce featured one JanPlanner from this board, and the members of which were previously in a band called Golden Starlet who did a few Peel sessions, released a LP called Token Gadgey and then became International Strikeforce who released the album Love Is.... which featured Bryan Robson's Red & White army on it and can be picked up for 20 odd quid of Discogs.
Have this too at my Mam's house (quite sentimental as my Dad, who's departed now, bought it a few years before I was born) Very much of it's time, especially the second track being the funk and guitar instrumental of "Stukey's Strut".Had Up the Boro as a 7" single as well as this CD, probably liked the Cloughie song at the end best
