Carol Pope and Rough Trade were making in-your-face LGBTQ+ music very, very early in acceptance.

I think of them of local but it is quite possible I learned of them through the college radio network (or a cassette tape copy) which was only way 'subversive' music spread then. I know the traditional means was unavailable to them.

Very big part of my current You Do You first. Just don't be annoying about it view on all communities.

Likely why Mastodon fits me so well.

Recommendation is in the Image Caption above. Stop being lazy and go read that. 😄

Not likely to offend anyone who already has. 😄

The more you read them, the better ones you will write. And not meaning mine specifically, read them all. I'm a member of the #TheInflux and new here.

But I had a DM bot that nagged me for transgression over there so it's habit and have been doing it consistently for a while.

And all the extra characters it gives me!! 😄

Aha! Found the pressing date - 1977. Took a while to remember that if its not in the sleeve, check the LP itself.

Interesting that it's pre-university. Before I had a record player. This album is likely one where I heard something later from them and went on the hunt.

But every song I can think of is on this album. 🤔
