Had the 45 in 1982. At the time I lived in the same town on Long Island as where Jack Kerouck was born, my first aparment. Glory days remember when we were all invincible and foolish? The dance clubs Danceteria, Peppermint Lounge, Irving Plaza, BONDS!!!!!
Playing a record is like making love to a beautiful woman. First you let her prise open the lid of your long player, then you find her hole with your finger and gently slip her onto the deck. After checking for fluff you carefully introduce your needle into her groove and send her into a spin. She might be 33, 45 or 78, the technique is the same. And if you're feeling adventurous you can flip her over and try her B-side.
fractured my elbow and dislocated my shoulder after diving into a ( very thin) mosh pit off stage at chelsea college or uni or summat during one of their gigs circa 1980 (ish)
Loved the band, and along with Blue rondo a la turk, they made up a stable diet of gigs for me and my mates in that era !!
As far as i'm concern, this is the no. 1 alternative song of the 80's. It has everything. now if we can get B-movie's a letter from a far and Killing Jokes is it me or is it you, i will be satified, thanx for the upload. mycroft999

Great upload...still reminiscent of SKA and a bit of P.I.L thrown in for good measure...i miss the 2 tone label, rude boy for life!

It's great to hear this again. This was always my favourite tune from The Higsons.

This is when the 2 Tone label started dabbling with funk once the ska thing died.

Thank you mycroft999 for posting this. The Higsons were one amazing band for their time. Even now. Shame not many caught on.
