And here it is, visible and understandable at long last, a building first designed in 1988 and described by the late Lord Callaghan, chairman of the panel of judges who selected the Richard Rogers scheme, as having "the potential of becoming a great building, one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of architecture at the dawn of the 21st century".
...At one point, though, the partnership was sacked by the then Welsh finance minister, Edwina Hart, who claimed the architects had severely underestimated the cost of the building (which is, by the way, about 10% of the cost of the new Scottish Parliament).
Rogers was reinstated, and awarded withheld fees while Hart's claims against the architects for £6.9m damages was considered unsubstantiated and dismissed. The official adjudicator, Christopher Linnet of the London-based quantity surveyors Harold Crowter Associates, said: "I am satisfied that the National Assembly's case on misrepresentation is not proven in any respect." Paul Hyett, then president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, who had tried to intervene as an honest broker, said he felt "the incompetence on the client's side frankly beggars belief".

A year or so after they had been released, Stiff had deleted their first 13 singles. So imagine a world deprived of Nick Lowe "Heart Of The City/So It Goes" and Elvis Costello's "Less Than Zero", but the record company then flashed out an eleven track sampler of this early product and charged only £3.99 for it...Ten of the first eleven singles are represented here (one of which was never even released: Motorhead). The collection focused on B-sides or non album tracks, the reason why Sean Tyla & his Gang had two songs (the single was a double B-side 7"). The inner sleeve is also noteworthy because Stiff displays a picture of "some fine records on other labels you might enjoy". Stiff had style.
Note: Most of the tracks featured here have been reissued on cd, but 30 years later, at the same time "The Big Stiff Box Set" is released, we are proud to celebrate those "porky prime cuts" by making available again the original Stiff compilations.
