The Fabulous Pop Tarts "Another Grey Day In London"

I first heard this song when MTV had the 120 Minutes of Underground music. I have been searching for this song time and time again. I've been where moonfu has ...looking for it and no one had heard of it. I thought maybe I had gotten the name incorrectly. If anyone has this on mp3 let me know where you found it.

My experience is almost exactly like Moonfu's! This was the elusive song that got away, nobody knew about it-- also because I had somehow falsely attributed it to a nonexistent band called "The 25th of May." (Ahh, memory.) And over time, it became somewhat of a musical grail to find. Hearing it now... well, not terrible, but it's certainly laughing at me for having lodged itself in my head for so long!

I've always identified this track as the song that "got away." Heard the song a few times in the mid 80s, fell in love with it, and then it was gone. I couldn't find the tape anywhere and nobody seemed to know about the band. As time passed, the song took on a mythical quality, becoming better and better and better. Then, I found it here. I clicked the play button and...I was completely underwhelmed in every way by the experience. It would have been better left unplayed.

I can relate a bit. I will say that the story on the bottom still is good, and I forgot about that bit. I think it sounds more electric guitar based than what I remember? Still like it though.
