BRADFORD - Skin Storm (Morrissey covered this one!)

[shackbhoy]

I have the 7 inch vinyl of this and it's far better than this one . Not that this is bad , too good a song not to be . But the original is one of the greatest singles of the 80's , for me. It just seems to have more passion and vigour about it ?

Anyway , to the guy who still sees Ian H ? tell him thanks , he's remembered for a classic .

[Caligulita]

Not bad at all, but I think I still prefer Moz's version. More...inuendo in his version?

[SuperLesbeat]

holy shit..i love this song

[Moireach1]

the song is from about 1987 i think.

[HanseMod]

well, the album is from 1990. maybe there was an earlier single release. i don't know.

[Moireach1]

Single release was 88, a friend of mine has it.(vinyl) These guys turned their back on everything. Didn't want anything to do with the money making side of the record industry.

@HanseMod skin storm was the first ever single to be released on cd. it was 1988 :-)

[pacey68]

@Mozzerella100 It wasn't the first ever cd single... it was the first self-financed cd single

[pacey68]

@HanseMod This is the 1990 album version, it differs to the original single version from 1988. Singer Ian H is still performing around Blackburn (he came for dinner at mine just the other day haha!) whilst in a bizarre turn of events bass player Jos is now in Morrissey tribute band Viva Morrissey.

[HanseMod]

this is the regular version from the cd "shouting quietly". i don't think that Bradford ever did a peel session.

[talktal]

i guess i hadnt heard it in forever.  i remember it sligghtly different.

[talktal]

wow, what version is this? is this like a peel session or something?

[HanseMod]

Yeah, so do I. But I think not everybody knew it was not from him, maybe!

[talktal]

morrissey did a good job, but prefer this version. on the other hand, his studio recording of "that's entertainment" was god awful

[dicartwright]

I have to say I prefer Morrissey's. I always thought this was a brilliant song for him to sing.
