amazing how an album Hats can make you feel sad, but so very happy at the same time. Masterpiece

Thoroughly ejoyable and insightful, great work

Big fan back in the day. Great to hear their story now I'm a bit, quite a bit actually, older. Played Hats on my dads Linn Sondek LP12.

Just discovered this utter gem of a documentary. Thank you so much. It brought me right back to being a teenager on the fringes of Glasgow when A Walk Across the Rooftops first came out. That debut is still the best album for me and I've never stopped listening to it and loving it every single time.

I remember hearing Tinseltown on the radio one day in the mid 80s. One of those JFK moments As I can still remember I was cutting the grass at my mum's house and I just stopped dead until the song was finished but I never caught the name of it and couldnt fin out how to find out. I didnt hear it again until a few years later when a friend of mine at Uni in Glasgow gave me a tape to listen to. As soon as I heard it I remembered that day in the garden and I was hooked. Thanks to Ken for this terrific documentary. I have not listedn to the Blue Nile for a few years now but hearing those songs took me back to my late teens/early 20s, listening to the album on my walkman over and over again. I still have my treasured 12" single of Tinseltown in the rain on vinyl
