The Great Blitz Album Survey...Favourite Albums Across The Years...The 90s

Noice.

hey mate…wiki shows this as being released in October 97…please amend :slightly_smiling_face:

:slight_smile: So many classic lines on this… Richie’s roll-call of the commentators gets me every time… “hey, hey, hey… let’s work as a team and do it my way”. Should be my current boss’ tagline…

Tu Plang was released in 1996

Unit was released in 1997

Please let me know if you want me to swap them or if you want to opt for a new 3rd option for 1997.

Cheers :slight_smile:
