• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Released today in 1979

Not a patch on the previous 3 for my money, especially crime of the century.
 
I have the Very Best Of Supertramp album which, as you’d expect, is a collection of the best songs all together.
 
Bought Crime of the century the morning after seeing them at Swansea University in 1974. Incredibly, they played the coffee bar because they weren't big enough for a larger room.
I have a soft spot for crisis, what crisis even though many don't rate it much.

Not sure that list is 100% accurate, some of those songs are 80’s hits.
 
I was about to jump on saying that two tribes was 84, remember trying to pull a girl in Plymouth when this was playing in the pub
