One of the best things about 'It's Great When You're Straight .. Yeah' is the use of a sample from the 'Troggs Tapes' and hearing Reg Presley say '.. you just gotta sprinkle some of the old fairy dust over the bastard' in a Wiltshire accent. Sheer class !

I Liked both at the time but gave all my Happy Mondays stuff away and still listen to the Roses. Maybe thats because their music suits the old git in me. Or it was just better
