A great shame that Jake Riviera and everyone at Stiff Records didn't recognise the commercial potential of "Open Fire" ... the first time I heard that in the Trubs' set at the Hope & Anchor [1981?], everyone came out singing it. Everyone. It would have been a number one record. That's how pop history is made, or not...
Long hair all round really, despite our best punk/new wave endeavours! Thank you Any Trouble for many hours of great live music, thirty odd years ago. Aaargh!!

Not seen this before ..
hearing "Second Choice" was one the events that made me pack my day job in 1981 and become a musician full time .
28 years later I'm still at it .. I don't tire of hearing The Trubz

Their first three singles are faultless.
I can't think of any other band who has followed such a quality song (Yesterday's love) with another that's just as good if not better (Second choice) and then follow that with 'Girls are always right'! The fact that NONE of them were hits just makes a mockery of the charts and confirms that the charts were hyped at the time because I remember Yesterday's love being played a lot on Radio 1 - someone must have bought it!

I still have their first 2 albums and still play them - why wasn't "Second Choice" a worldwide hit i don't understand? Way way much better than today's crap i agree!

Another one of music industry's little mysteries... how come they never made it? There's no accounting for taste. This is to mine. Great to see them back.

How come they never made it? Hmm..let's see. Maybe because there was already an Elvis Costello.

I don't buy this. If Clive Gregson didn't wear thick horn rimmed glasses and wasn't on Stiff, I wonder if the music would be compared so. I'm an admirer of both but for way different reasons. EC is a wordsmith, sometimes needing Google to decipher his intricacies. He rode in with new wave but was never punk. AT in a way were pre-BritPop and perhaps would have fitted in better later. Funny, hung up on girls and floundering like the rest of us. Something about judging books and covers?

Joe Jackson coming up didnt' help matters either. I think AT sounded like Joe more than their typical EC comparisons.

Elvis Costello is all fine and good, but give me Joe Jackson, Andy Partridge, or Marshall Crenshaw anyday. It's unfortunate that artists like Clive Gregson didn't have better commercial success. Costello can write a fine tune, but nobody in the genre wrote love songs like Gregson.

Any trouble made better records than Elvis Costello. Yesterday's love is class. It's hard to argue the point though - straight away Elvis had the press all over him which does help. When the front of the Melody Maker said 'Let's get into Trouble' in 1980 - I thought it was a very bold statement. Here was a band that I actually liked being liked by the music press!!! Of course the NME had to step in shortly after and make a statement saying the Melody maker was wrong for liking them!

Great video, great songwriter, great person - always loved his humour! Love the way Clive doesn't get phased by the Interviewer. Any Trouble were one of the best.
