Paddy McAloon is definetely one of the best songwriters ever.It's the first time I hear this track.It has a jazzy touch I like.Donna Summer is well deserved this hommage.
¡Esta canción es una cara B! Miles de grupos soñarian con hacer una canción tan buena como esta. Paddy McAloon es un enorme compositor además de un genio.
Was originally the b side of Couldn't bear to be different. Probably up there with Bonnie as my all time PS favourite. Even the cheap and ridiculously out of place synth stabs can't lessen its greatness. And anyway, that double bass more than compensates!
this song is like a memory I vaguely remember. Of moments and dark rooms scented by clove cigarettes, drying oil paints Her soft scent next to me. As she heels off the dead man shoes she wears. Her soft woolen feet coming finding snug comfort under my thigh. Ahhh, Marirose.
The only album you'll find it on is 'Kings of Rock 'n' Roll: the Best of Prefab Sprout'. Otherwise, it cropped up on various 12" single releases between 1984 and 1988. I virtually wore the vinyl out when I played it over and over when I was 19. It still gives me chills.
Great track! I actually have a fast demo version of this somewhere!

So rare. So beautiful. For me the perfect definition of a pop song.

Martin Mcaloon, the bass player. Slightly resemblant to a footballer with the first touch of Jack the Ripper

Yes! I have this on a 12" but could never find it on cd. It's one of my very favorite Prefab songs. Cheers!
