This great song was recorded at least 3 times. The original 45, the perfect youth lp version with Dimwit on drums, and this 3rd version (actually recorded first!) exclusive to this video. This and the 45 version feature Robert Bruce on drums as seen in this video. Cheers!
@PanoplyCabaret Not as yet. 3 versions have made it to vinyl. The 7" 45 version, obviously on 45, is also on the compilation "waiting for the real thing" vinyl lp, as is the 1st "Dimwit" version recorded in England and rejected by Stiff records. The later Vancouver version with Dimwit is on all pressings of "Perfect Youth". There are other unreleased versions both live and studio as well. Cheers!
Anyone at the Buddha with D.O.A. was a great double bill. THough Seeing the pointed sticks with them was one of the best....Man I miss the music I was luckey enough to here in that joint.....What a great place to hang out.
