Robert Wyatt Old Rottenhat LP Domino mint & sealed

Old Rottenhat arrived in the mid-80s and was unsurprisingly poignant in its analysis of the self-regarding destruction meted out by Thatcherism. The record contrasts its very real sense of disappointment with the way things are with a determination to wonder at the strength and resolve of the human spirit.
