Luke Haines - Outsider / In - The Collection
The slightly naff title of this budget two-disc Luke Haines compilation suggests that following the success of the old grouch’s very funny books, the time has come for a reappraisal of his music by the mainstream.

Music for journos to wank over...
With a face only a mother could love and a record that only music journalists could love...no wonder no-one reads music journalists any more
what a strange post chairwhatever
One of the most original, genius artists of the last two centuries. I still stand by The Oliver Twist Manifesto being the great lost masterpiece. Nice to see another compilation for newbies to discover but I believe Haines's work will always be lost on the majority as he's to far ahead of his time.
Nah, Luke Haines is great
