description:
Margaret Thatcher first came into view politically as the MP for Finchley, London. There was a photo in the local paper of her opening a church fete and of some four year old kid crying in front of her. Experience later told me (yes, I was that teary eyed youth) that I had made my first political protest and didn't even know it.
Well, I went on to be me and she went on to be Britain's first woman Priminister, and as it turn's out, one of it's most hated. Yeah, the health service was dismantled, as was the coal industry and much else, but on the plus side, the protests against her led to some half decent music being put out...Take it away anti - Maggie groovers

Track 13 from She Was Only A Grocer's Daughter
Length: 00:07:30 Year: 0000 |
|
|
Track Description:
The whole album this came from was an attack on 'Thatcher's Britain', the album title itself, 'She Was Only A Grocer's Daughter' being a reference to her roots, as daughter of a grocer called Roberts in the town of Grantham. Other songs directed at Thatcher on the LP included 'Out With Her' as well as this number, a reworked dub version of the main single from the album, 'It Doesn't Have To Be This Way'. As for the band themselves, they were very much a British pop band of their day, slightly jazzier and funkier than most. The lead singer Dr Robert had something going for him, as I recall. SHOW LESS
