"In her coverage of the Nuremberg trials, Rebecca West records the reaction of a Czech audience who, during a screening of Brief Encounter, “asked themselves with some emotion whether it could really be true that in England there were no other places than railway buffets where lovers could meet.” Maybe there weren’t, which is why the refreshment room at Milford Junction boils with passion, why Celia Johnson has a voice—and face—like cracked china, and why, when Trevor Howard utters the simple word good-bye, it is as soaked with tragic resignation as a biscuit in tea."

Rolling Stone's 185th greatest album of all time (488th in the 2020 list)
I was really surprised this came out in the 60s. I would have assumed it came out just before punk broke properly in the late 70s. Considering some of the music coming out of America at that same time, for this to come out with its passion and anger is frankly astounding. I Wanna Be Your Dog is a rock and roll classic, as is No Fun. It beggars belief how long it took British bands to cotton on to this new style of music.
