Robert Wyatt - Nothing Can Stop Us audio Freetown Sound is a tourNothing Can Stop Us (1981) Signing to Rough Trade in the early 80s, on the understanding from his former label Virgin that he wouldnt release any LPs for a while, Wyatt released a series of singles of cover versions. The set was recorded with a straight, simple, beauty informed by the experience of geopolitics just as the term was being invented.
