The Undertones - Hypnotised

I haven't spun this in years. I loved The Undertones when I was younger and I still have a big soft spot for them. I bought this from the Magil Big star for $8. I don't know why I left the price tag on then. I have the first self-titled album on CD. I loved all the tongue in cheek and awkward songs about unrequited love. On listen now, some lyrics have aged better than others.

Maybe there was something about the kids from Derry that resonated with me being awkward in my shitty suburban town. I remember I was gifted my grandfather's record player and I'd always turn the volume up on this record.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this and now I want to watch the doco as I realised I've not seen it.
