Opener Primrose Hill was later sampled by Fat Boy Slim, and the John-led Parcels offers a template for what would become his signature style as the decade progressed. It is one of those rare albums that creates its own atmosphere, late night intensity, middle age soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loafers Vinyl \u0026 Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424194773180,"sku":"aqg1788761849944","price":23.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/1042\/9884\/files\/john-and-beverley-the-road-to-ruin_1.webp?v=1788761853","url":"https:\/\/www.moonstonecorner.shop\/products\/john-and-beverley-the-road-to-ruin","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
