42 years ago today, we released our debut album. The first, fully independent album to crack the U.K. Top 20. Happy birthday, "Inflammable Material".

@JakeBurnsSLF Hanx for the idiot’s guide to playing Alternative Ulster - it’s a beautiful thing. Is it fair to say the album mix is better than the 7”?

@JakeBurnsSLF An absolute corker and sounds good as it did then. I bought this album off the back of a BBC1 drama programme that had Alternative Ulster on it. What was that programme Jake ?

@kegsymartin Probably "Iris in the Traffic, Ruby in the Rain", a "Play for Today".

@JakeBurnsSLF Listened to Inflammable Material so much as a teenager, a scratch ruined the guitar solo in Wasted Life around 1:58. The jump didn't stop me playing it, though. #SLF
