You can see that Difford and Tillbrook are bewildered at how the band’s later incarnations, with eight albums between 1985 and 2010, never really made the same impression as their first four, recorded in as many years.

Alas, as happens to all Englishmen, their “Limey bomb” went off at middle age. (See: Hemmings, David...)
