Born out of a one-man mission with his roots firmly planted in all things Fab - head Poppermost Joe Kane has gone the whole hog by recording his own music so in thrall to his idols as to be genuine rather than pastiche. Utilising an array of FAB instruments, microphones and recording techniques, all glued together by bargain basement analogue junk - 'shitty is pretty', says Joe, your innermost Fab Four desires will be sated by an affected Lennon-like 'you wanted the werld and I gave you the werld' here, a woody McCartney bass-line there, a multitude of 12 string chiming George middle eights, with everything held in place by a Ringo-perfect compressed backbeat.

There's a song for every occasion on this record. Short, sweet and exactly as they used to make 'em, Hits To Spare does exactly what it says on the sleeve. Like all the best albums, it'll have you waiting impatiently for the needle to slide across that dead-wax at the end of side 2 so that you can flip it over and play the LP again.
