Them

Them, ‘Here Comes the Night’, 1965. Van Morrison, the Belfast Cowboy, waaay before he really started upsetting people. Them were Ulster’s answer to the Pretty Things: an ugly blues band who morphed into Sixties grooviness. Great tune, in “true high fidelity”, later covered by Bowie. Lovely design on the Decca sleeves and label with the original logo (before they put it in a box). Yes, I’m an anorak. Decca was also home to the Rolling Stones and, after EMI, was the biggest UK label.
