This is one of my favourite song of that period, plus MLS favourite for sure... Every time I am in London and I find myself in Mornington Crescent I start singing Sparkle... I am so gutted I missed them live few months ago
This is one of the iconic uni, youth defining songs for me. Must have listened to is thousands of times when i was 19 in 96 / 97. 5 of us had the single on CD and still do! One of my fave songs of all time. They were fab live too!
Wow, these guys really meant something to you, huh... I have Jake Shillingford as a teacher now. Music in Context and Music Business, same as TheRylics...
Gee, I remember some acoustic version I heard years ago on a local radio. Probably a single's B-side. If any of you guys have a mp3 of this acoustic version, drop me a line please.
i can never believe this band split up, in the the mid 90's i was bit of a groupy, jake and the gang were just emence, the live concerts? you had to of been there, SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!. ITS A SHAME THEY NEVER REALLY GOT THERE, THEY DID EARN IT!
Just so glad my life, somehow, just coincided with such total class!

Adored this song when it was out. Craig Cash used to play it, in the days when he was a local DJ rather than a comedy writer.

The blonde lady at 0:39 - she is on standby and dancing to the beat. She has the most 'Attitude' throughout the song. Respect.

What's the matter? Feeling a bit scared to come out of the closet are you? Don't worry, I'm sure your mum and dad will understand - eventually.
