Spear Of Destiny, especially Liberator, were popular in the scooter rally days. A nostalgia buy, but glad to have that track alone on vinyl. The rest of the album is unremarkable, but it was cheap! #vinyl #NowPlaying #SpearOfDestiny23 Aug 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:xpuvbuafakghohinf7lg2eio/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtr5l3rrx225https://bsky.app/profile/revivalrecords.co.uk/post/3mtqq25rmxs2cMooching around town yesterday I came across this curiosity. They’re a local band and they use each advance they get from the label to commission a standing stone. Cool. This is ambient folk and it’s really rather good.
