[evileyesteve]

[sylocibe]

Muy buen tema, increíble Marc cantando, inconfundible!!

[postalada1]

Definately the best British male vocalist. I can´t really remember much though...

[lemsta007]

[TheTracie63]

[mojaroar]

I remember seeing marc about in leeds n bradford back in the day b4 he got famous.. nice lad..always let on.. then we did look very similar.. in fact he nicked some of my style...lol

[spikefoster0]

great song

[Synthsonic]

Thanks for this rare 12" version.

Marc & the mambas - one of the best bands ever!!!

[aloyvender]

This is what I'm beggining to love about youtube: the chance of meeting artist I've never heard. For instance Marc here with this very sexy beautiful 80's song

[adaptkng]

ahead of thought

[essexpete1]

you can now buy all the marc and the mambas albums on cd from amazon

[mikebelgrave]

Brilliant. I wish they would release this version on CD somewhere.

[essexpete1]

to true american monarchist to true

[essexpete1]

im honoured to have of grown up in this era

[americanmonarchist]

@essexpete1 So did I and todays "music" is a wasteland!!!

[essexpete1]

wow im a quivering wreck hearing this from my youth

[BineSara]

Thanks for taking this song to here. Once I had all these old records but then I moved to another home ... All of these songs will always be alive in my memories for ever, who needs an old record? I remember the black heart in me that I had when I was 18 years young. Where have the years been going?

[Beds1tter]

Pure Genious

[abuzzme]

Amazing song... So glad i got to see Marc solo and with Soft Cell....WOW...shiversss.......­..

[DannyWhiteDan]

I am so proud to get these maxi for nothing!

[marinaki28]

Amazing artist...Authentic!!!

[dralgclar77]

a perfect song to dance to

[punktonebristol]

your rite only issued on 12ins vinyl 83,but may be reissued in 2010 as part of almonds 30 years in showbiz celebrations.

[princeofdaftness]

Always has the same reaction, my shoulders go side to side..or is it my head either way superb beat , fantastic lyrics, a true classic that as soon as some advertising bloke picks it up and puts it in a car commercial it will take over the world, ;0)

[JoeStunner]

One of my all-time favourite songs - totally breath-taking! Am I right in saying this version still isn't available on CD?

[sabakabrasiskaia]

thanx

is all i have to say

[BulletProofCorpse]

..Something demented about that album cover, her face...

Is she dancing, or casting a spell?...could be doing both I suppose.

[dem6nseed]

OH THE MEMORIES!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this version of the song!! Thanx so much, this is awesome... :)

[TheVijay6]

Yes, this brings back alot of evocative memories; I remember sitting alone in my room and listening to this song over and over again as a not very pretty 16 year old.

[sissors66]

@TheVijay6 me too lol

[swiftage8]

can u email me the music files please

[backinnyc]

great track this

[stonergurl30]

shit sonnng

[jensick]

This so so so brings back the tears of childhood angst. God, I loved these albums-- they were a staple of my sick and demented lonely childhood. It was Marc alone who helped me through all those dark, dark, adolescent years. However, in hindsight, Marc and Morrissey sure gave me the impression that LOVE was irrevocably unrequited and sex SEEDY. And, thus far, it has taken me years and years to get over these notions.

[robalwayssad]

you've put this sentiment more eloquentley than i ever could put into words...it does take time and effort to believe love and sex can combine without seedy overtones

[oskar0420]

ooooh dats HOT!!!!!

[dannyknowlesuk]

just noticed on HMV that the Torment and Toreros album gets Re-released on the 3 march 2009 on CD

[thelovepigeon]

Don't be surprised if it doesn't happen... the date has been regularly put back since last summer. Last time I looked it was 18 January so I've asked for a refund on my pre-order. Fuck knows if it's even going to happen.

[dannyknowlesuk]

We'll it happened, it eventually got released, and it is every bit as awesome as i remember it.

[MeetTheEnd]

Wow, awesome! Thanks for sharing this! Lily XXX

[NJD1967]

What a fantastic song-I think his voice is sublime!!!

I do wish more of the Mambas material was available-only very expensive used CDs-reissue these please!!!

Thx for posting!!!

[silmalila]

It IS sublime, my dear.

Thanks for sending it!

[ABTE67]

the best song of all times

the best singer of all times

[trendydelquendy]

Great, absolutely fantastic song to play.

It's E/F for the verses, start with a G for the chorus.

I can show you the chord extensions for the the other bits too! Ace song.

[Jessuss1991]

let me known !

[mrska1]

Love it.. Your Aura is my fav Mambas track..

[walkure8]

The Torment cd's are timeless. Almond is one of the world's greatest artist. The works that Marc produced between 1981 to 1991 stagers the mind!

[1uk3]

Please Please somebody if you have the "Torment & Toreadors" (It's a take on "Carmen" the opera by Bizet and bloody brilliant!)album put it on here it's just wonderful!!!! xxx

[montreuilparadise]

Une divinité musicale

[Enduro117a]

Marc Almond ist ein musikalisches Genie!

[vampyr1960]

Marc Almond at his best, Great Tune.

[VAThrasher]

this song... is amazing... i cant get it out of my head

[trendydelquendy]

Brilliant stuff. I still want a Farfisa organ because of this album.

[rga24yt]

Is it a Farfisa? I thought it was a Vox Continental.

[trendydelquendy]

I assumed it was Farfisa because it's mentioned on the sleeve notes... I've given my sister her copy of the album back, but I'm sure it says "Annie Hogan - Farfisa" somewhere on it.

I could be wrong. Would be STAGGERED if I am though.

(Easy song to play - E, F on the verses, G, F, E and back on the choruses - all major chords.)

[rga24yt]

I just listened to the recording again and the live version which is also on Youtube. It's a different organ on the recording versus the live version; I'm now trying to find out exactly which model of Farfisa (combo?) organ appears on the recording, they made so many of them! It's a Vox Continental on the live video, the tone is quite different.

[betRlatnever]

Yum!

[shaznay07]

i loved this era. possibly marc at his best. inspirational. DELICIOUSLY WICKED..

[punktonebristol]

absolute classic,ive still got this on vinyl and the torment 12inc aswell.

[1uk3]

Do you have the album "Torment & Toreadors"? If you do please put it on Youtube,I would remain your ever grateful servant!! xx

[punktonebristol]

yeh ive got the torment cd,if u send me ur details i can sort u out a copy.

[thewhitemarble]

hi, this is brilliant, grew up with it, on vinyl. would love it on cd, it made me the man i am today lol

[1947chevy]

No way I cant beleive they play this at vertigos!!!!!! If this is recent you guys should of been there in the late 90's when put on by alternatine nation. OUTOF CONTROL!!!!!way different vibe then today deff the place to be and it was still like kinda underground. I hear all the montebello rejects go their, no offense!!!!!!!

[klerambinskas]

I like this song. Maybe somebody has vinyl disc of this mix?

[pringleflicker]

Only ace!

I had this on the famous tape, but this is better! Just lovely.

[medavog]

amazing!

[batmanfizzle]

i danced this song with DAISY at club vertigos. she told me to ask the dj to play this song and i loved it after i heard it. man that chick is so hot. we make a good dance couple...

[azgazr8]

this song reminds me of being at club vertigo's in L.A. great song to dance to!

[wickeddomino]

this is a good one that i recently added to my collection

[QueenJenTheObscure]

I agree with greentara, although mine was at Dungeon. I love this song! Thx for posting.

[greentara72]

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!! I miss this song, especially this beautifully lengthy version. I used to dance to this at Helter Skelter in Hollywood years ago....(sigh)

I have "Torment" on vinyl, but who has a record player anymore?

[redsovietzombie]

You should come out to the newer clubs they have now, cause they still play this :) I miss helter as well.

[lollynutz]

i love this song...
