Three songs with the word Saturday in the title - a lazy way to choose music or a well thought out theme for a segment of a tightly controlled fifty five minute show ?Ìý The truth is that it started with the Sons of Adam song, another highlight of the 'Where The Action Is' box set , which found itself beside one of the great Jam songs from 'Setting Sons'. The third is by Coventry band The Flys, whoÌýrecorded one of the great late punk singles 'Love And A Molotov Cocktail'. I loved it since I heard it on John Peel in 1978. A couple of years ago I loved it so much I went out and bought the CD.Ìý Let's say it was the outstanding highlight on the CD. Overshadowing the rest. The tallest poppy.Ìý ButÌýÌýSaturday Sunrise isn't bad.ÌýIs thatÌýdamning with faint praise ? Sorry.
