«Where I grew up in Harrow, it was very polarized: long-haired guys in long coats carried album sleeves under their arms and listened to Bob Dylan and Jethro Tull – and short-haired people listened to soul and reggae. That’s how it was. I liked some Dylan stuff but I’d never listened to the albums. Then in 1972 I met these two guys from Liverpool who turned me on to it. Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands was one complete side of an LP – and that just blew my mind. How can a song be any good for 12 minutes? But I played it – and then I played it again. And I became a massive Dylan fan» – Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners), 2022
