I’d forgotten how utterly delicious this song is – though it does blatantly steal the sequenced intro from Japan’s single "Quiet Life"!
Aye, whilst at the same time trying to be Altered Images’ concerted effort to evoke the more disco essence of the by then just-about split-up Blondie. Probably my favourite track of theirs, just about.
Fair play to Jeremy Vine who played it the other on his show. Sound bloke Vine, I bumped into him and his brother outside the Kentish Town Forum following a Magazine reunion gig in February.
Definitely a big music fan, Mr Vine, and I think possibly the first man ever to play any Smiths on daytime Radio 2 many years ago. His brother’s pun-heavy live stand-up shows ("Live in Concrete", I think the last tour was dubbed) are a scream, too.
