OK, the obvious answer is all of them, but money restrictions mean I have to pace myself. I'm leaning towards some Stockholm Monsters and maybe Ludus, but I just can't decide. So if you could only choose one or two, which ones would they be and why?

New answers! It should be noted that I already have Sorry for Laughing/The Only Fun in Town (nearly perfect), Here Comes Everybody (good, but every time I listen to it I think "hey, I could be listening to the Field Mice") and The Plateau Phase (nice, but I think it will take a few more listens before I can get into it, or maybe I just won't get into it).

Well, I'm about to order them Stockholm Monsters reissues myself, so there's that. Right now you're missing a slew of Section 25, so clearly something of theirs is needed...the Tunnelvision reissue is pretty good too.

I'm going to get "the Damage" by Ludus. I've got a wonderful Ludus compilation from the 80s which contains many of the same songs. I look forward to hearing the live tracks which were recorded at the Hacienda.

"Always Now" by Section 25 is a very good album.

And get the Dada and Surrealism spoken word sampler, which has some priceless crackly recordings of Andre Breton, Max Ernst and the like!

LTM put out a cassette of my band The Happy Family in 1984, when James Neiss was just a fresh-faced Edinburgh geek, son of the art college pursur!

Stockholm Monsters for sure -- got 'em in today's mail. One of my all-time favorite bands. The Ludus one is good too and has Morrissey's never-used liner notes in the press kit: great stuff.

All At Once: SIngles 1981 - 1987
STOCKHOLM MONSTERS: Alma Mater Plus
STOCKHOLM MONSTERS The Last One Back: Archieve: 1980 - 1987
...since i can only afford one at a time,which should i get first?

Alma Mater if you absolutely positively have to choose, though how you will manage to go on living without both mixes of "Miss Moonlight" (on the singles comp) is beyond me.
