I'm an American who was lucky enough to play this record at Ealing College (now called something else) when I spent a winter in London in 88-89. Great gig and the campus pub was, um, very convenient. Long live the Weddoes.
Love how one of the bass strings is slightly out of tune, you'd think that would spoil it but strangely I find it actually adds a certain something to the song.
in a weird sort of way i think this is my favourite wedding present song. i really love how the messiness resolves so nicely into that coda at 3:17 and it suddenly sounds so much like he means it.
Always thought David Gedge was/is a genius : )

ah what an intro, I remember learning to play this as a boy, on an mbira (thumb piano) instead of the guitar :D

I had several crates of free Becks lager, summer 1991. Spent most of the time in the Darlo bedsit, drinking it, and listening to "Tommy".

I was at school when I first heard this. Songs like this shaped me. It gave my great pleasure that this was on the set list this year.
