Fantastic, another of my all time faves. Thanks for posting. Still got this on 12", it was one of the first remixes I got, long before remixes became popular. At least this one was done by the original producer - the brilliant, sadly missed, Martin Rushent. Anyway, I'm over analysing - this is just too good a song to spoil with too many words. Always lifts my spirits (I'll shut up now). Oh, forgot to say wonderfully melodic bass guitar!!
@themore09 spot on....I can almost mentally do the exact dance.....right about the bass, but when the guitars come in about 2:35 then its in overdrive!
Had this on an old cassette and it has always stuck in my head for the university/post university era of my life. Never knew who did this one. Altered Images came up as a band in a book I'm reading: Ska'd For Life by The Specials bass player Horace Panter (get it man, fantastic account of being a young musician in England beginning in the late 70's and life on the road playing gigs - imagine what it was like to tour and open for The Clash). Yeah, I'm happy now too. Thanks for posting.
A year before a friend of mine was killed, she gave me this album while we were at LSU in 1981. A year later she was randomly shot going to a party in NOLA and i still have this album! Thanks for posting. Great memories just flooded back.

Their signature tune without a doubt. Quirky yet beautiful - like Claire G herself (sorry).
