@basketballchickensod my pleasure. I am a BIG fan of them, & Rose particularly since she has kept making music. So I know Rose very well...!! first times I saw the pictures I couldn't tell who was who, either!! with time it's been easy...
I agree, they got started with a cool abd very unique live sound, this later stuff is so over produced. Jill was right , they should have stayed small lable, and continued developing their sound a few more years before going mega famous.
I do not agree. Introducing synth sounds made that album more unique. Ordinary drum and guitar sounds are boring. Electro and/or multiinstrumentality is way better than classic rock instrumentaton. And the years 1981-88 featured fairly natural drum machines, unlike 90-ies "boom boom" techno beats.
One of may favourites is "Little river", it`s only too short... and Linn LM-1 was used there, I think. But SS live voices were very good.
The lads from Saint Etienne must have been fans, I think? The girls are fab, I have Since Yesterday on 7" vinyl, still sounds fantastic. Proper, melodic, simplistic pop with the exact amount of bitter/sweetness. Lovely stuff!
just beautiful. it's sad that nobody makes music this good anymore, now its all emo and nu metal shit! kids, now you know where the japs got their lolita goth sense of fashion.
I dedicate this song to Glasswegian girl none other than Jill Bryson of Strawberry Switchblade.

I don't think the world will ever know such a beautiful sweet & sour sound again. Only Str Sw were able to do this.

I actually prefer their more "Dolly Mixture-esque" folk pop demos to their later synthpop music. The original "Let Her Go" is amazing.

Love also The Sundays. Very much like SS, but little more melancoly. Both kick serious ass.

One of the 80's most beautiful songs....Jill and Rose are soooo damn sexy rarrr!

Sexy in a classy, elegant way. Hardly showing any skin, but they're still desireable! If only modern pop stars could learn from this...

Nice one. Was actually looking for something done by Rose and Boyd under the name "Spell" but found this instead. Great song!

Such a shame that this didn't chart. The album version has great production. The production doesn't drown out the lovely harmonies though.
