RIP.
Party Fears Two was a classic track, but also those early Associates records like White Car in Germany, Tell Me Easter’s on a Friday etc. were decent.
Great live band too. Caught them at the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road on one early 80s tour.

Breakfast was a great track, although the Associates was pretty much a solo venture for Billy McKenzie at that time and Rankine didn't play on it. Another haunting one of theirs he did play on was No, probably my favourite of theirs.
