SIMON HOUGHTON - Amethyst Glory LP DC PUNK and the judicious rhythm sectionMy beautiful family the Houghtons, you made me. This is for you. "Cyprus 1982. A family holiday that would turn out to have a big impact on me. Visiting my grandparents on their sailing boat home the "Amethyst Glory" and seeing the very real possibilities of adventure and self exploration at such a young age planted deep rooted seeds which i am only just beginning to understand." Oltrarno Raw is honoured to present Amethyst Glory by Simon Houghton.
