At number 22 Half Man Half Biscuit - All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit

In 1986, Birkenhead band Half Man Half Biscuit - punk ethic purveyors of satire, social commentary, parody and angst - released their debut single, "The Trumpton Riots". On the B-side was the now legendary track, "All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit": the finest study of adolescent obsession, frustration, rivalry, violence and table football ever to grace the wrong side of a bit of vinyl.

The shimmer of the black and white is what gets me. when he stands on the bridge and the snow falls into the balck of the water, the look of the image is just amazing. You just can't do that in colour. And then there's Jimmy Stewart - such a pleasure to watch.
