Rare. I had some 1,000 Violins too on tape but the sound quality now is not that good anymore after all the years have past. This one is clear and sharp. Thanks for sharing.
Didn't this come out as a flexi disc at one point? Great band, loved the song titles too. Eat your heart out Morrissey! What happened to David Walmsley the keyboard player it says on another posting he is no longer with us?
can you give lyrics of the group? like 'if only words, let me charm the pants of your world, if i were a bullet, almost dead and nigh on forty years to go, please don't sandblast my house' my fav'rite from their thousand songs... lols... thanks... oh! sorry... i really love the group...
They also recorded the eminently masterful Ungrateful Bastard, including the lyric: I could kick you/But that would get me nowhere/I'm not a vicious man/So i'll just hate you from a distance...
I still have the version I taped in 85 (must have been around Christmas as it was Festive50. It's a slightly different take though (and a bit shorter). Regards.
wtf no, Im looking for that video where all those asian kids plays 1000's of violins all at once fuck this shitty 80's group

This is a different version to the one on the EP, it had a drum machine instead of live drums. Good song.

I also only have this on tape from the 1985 Festive 50. It was No.49 I think (that "all important" 49th position). Wonderful track.
