[colincoach]

Awesome track - great to get to see this on youtube.

[jimmyjamjars63]

Martha Ladly was one of the two girls named Martha in 'Martha and the Muffins' (Echo Beach). Don't know what happened to the other one.

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

Music for the gods...

[centralfocus]

completely surreal

[diskochimp]

Terrific! x

[soundbleu]

thank you so much for uploading this song. One of my favorites!

[Sheerzed]

Utter Genius. Thank you for putting this up. The Associates will always remain one of the finest and most progressive Scottish groups (along side Orange Juice and The Cocteau Twins of course). Sulk and this album are epic.

[robbos44]

cheers pal for posting this little gem id never seen this before what a track and could billy look more cooler if he tried sadly missed ...sleep well billy lad x...

[Fatgeologist]

Great band, great singer, but fuck, doesn't it sound like Peter Hammill? Not that that is any criticism.

MUSIC FROM HEAVEN

[trotsky77]

OH MY GOD.......saw them live twice,alan rankine could play every instrument ever invented ever ever in the world.billys falsetto and droooone were the best ever...i bet shitforbrains cowell would of said "well mr mckenzie its good but not quite what were looking for!".why does music not move me anymore like THE ASSOCIATES did.r.i.p mr mckenzie i wish you were here

[spacehopper70]

More proof that Simon Cowell is evil (if any is needed): compare his "Ruff Mix" by Wonderdog to "Voluntary Wishes Swapit Productions" by our beloved Associates. Both in the shops at roughly the same time, too.

[creepcube]

i totally agree ....such a loss rip

[woppy01]

Can somebody upload Love Hangover by The Associates

[Starjammer74]

The glory that was Billy. We are so fortunate that Associates came down from Olympus to bless us with these mad tunes.

[timwilderspin]

@Starjammer74 Couldn't agree more! Them was the gods.

[maryshelleysman]

Anonymous as bathrooms

Adrogynous as daschunds

Try them out and see

If some brat annoys you

Do what's felt impromtu

Kick them OUT!

Is this your infirmary?

All alone, recovery

White Car In Germany

[rubyamelie]

Brilliant

[malimble]

Thank you so much for posting this. One of my favourite Associates songs. Didn't really believe it would be on here, but you happily proved me wrong. :D

[heavyboxes]

This song is brilliant.

I never heard the Associates until the other day and I was immediately amazed.

So 80's. So Demented. So good.

[pepperdean200]

Same here, they really caught my attention whilst looking down the microscope at work. Sounded fantastic and utterly different.

[darewon]

RIP Billy. We love you!

daimoku for U

[spacehopper70]

There's a bug with a number of clips on YouTube (not just mine) where Flash player sometimes squeezes them. The file (as uploaded) had the correct aspect ratio. Any ideas?

[genevivaa]

-add &fmt=18 to the URL in the address bar -that brings up a high quality version of the video which is normal width..

[dancingchexmix]

Buddha...nammyohorengekyolovel­ovelove...

and so it is!

[discothief]

JohnCR100....That's the georgeuos Marta Ladly. She looks so hot and was featured as vocalist on a few early associates tunes. She was also a member of Martha and the Muffins of Echo Beach fame.

[pomomatthew]

i think she did the "doot-doo-doos" on Love Hangover... she's great.

[dancingchexmix]

White Car in Kansas City ....Billy , I see you in my dreams....life just gets sweeter & sweeter

[johncr100]

Who is the girl keyboard player?

[spacehopper70]

Martha Ladley. She's proving popular.

[vegetablemagnetism]

@johncr100 My God, the crush I had on her, from seeing her with Martha and the Muffins in Canada in the very early 80s, through the Associates, and her (all too brief) solo career. (BTW, she's rumoured to be the uncredited backup singer on Roxy Music's song Avalon. Anyone know if that 's true?

She's a professor of commerical design at a prstigious Toronto technical college now.

[shellatella]

I met Billy at a party in Camden Town in 1989, well crashed into him actually! due to a stuck door with him behind it. He was a lovely boy with a tonne of problems, and I miss him dearly. He is a legend! and I miss him... x

[dancingchexmix]

LOVE

[rjmf24]

Remember meeting Billie in Goring-on-Thames when he was recordind at Streatley.Had a beer,he bought us one and bothered to come back to the bar to say Bye!!!

God bless.........a true star who shines on.

[atomkraftteddy]

Great to see this again! "Götterdammerung 2000" was a dutch TV show, broadcasted bij the VPRO.

aprox. 1980.

Great song to.

[ianmac64]

Brings back so many memories. Wish I had a time-machine to go back to when I was sitting in my room with my mates listening to Associates. Happy times.

[15chipshops]

Possibly my favourite Associates song! although they have so many incredible songs that it's almost impossible to pick one.

Would love to see footage of 'Tell Me Easter's On Friday'.

Spacehopper70: Thanks for making my day!!!

[harkerlana]

Soundtrack to my life.

One of the mist haunting and beautiful songs for me.

Thank you

[dancingchexmix]

Sending Daimoku. I Love You Always.......

[dancingchexmix]

Excellent video... so psychedelic, shiny and bright, Love this. Merci - thank you for posting this. Billy & Associates thank you for the music legacy.....always brilliant, sheer beauty.

[dancingchexmix]

Omg! I haven't heard this song since 1986.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Love it!

RIP Billy - love is eternal!

[DJM3189]

groovey-groovey

my fave associates song

[mosserbett]

Brilliant i used to have this song on ltd edition 12 inch white vinyl

[glomag]

The Associates rule. This song is unique in pop music. Such excellent chord progressions and melody. Not to mention his delivery. Fantastic!

[harkerlana]

Perfectly put.

One of the best 80s songs.

Not one of the most popular, but one of the most enduring for me.
