scritti politti - confidence / p.a.s

[SoulstylistJukebox]

And the irony is, the late 70s version of Scritti Politti were far more "punk" than The Clash could ever dream of.

This sounds pretty good actually.

[talktal]

how do you go from this to perfect way???

The ep '4 a-sides' which contains these tracks was the last record I bought in the 1970s - 31.12.79 in fact. An 18 year old just started at college - and who'd have guessed that three months later I'd be seeing Green et al around the squats of Camden Town where we all lived! Nice fellow.

PAs - a favourite record of all time.

My favourite Scritti music, this St Pancras stuff (but 1999's Anomie and 2006 album White Bread right up there, I have to say).

I feel exactly the same way you do, except I live in Florida, no Camden for me.

[MystyMary]

fab sound and I love the feel of those times

See, this is what I love about Scritti Politti. I loved the R&B/Pop era from the mid-80's that everyone's more familiar with. But since I love Punk too I can take it back to their early days and dig that too. Green is so versatile.

But why is there a pic of The Clash in the vid instead of Scritti?

[beowulven]

Yes, yes, and... er, yes?

[jewelmylove16]

[jewelmylove16]

[chevgr]

[thevirgohifi]

I love  love love this...the plastic tube solo...genius...bought back then and been looking for it since selling stupidly

[billyshitcheese]

it is rather excellent

[postpunked]

Great is just defamatory and derogatory for such a masterpiece.

[billyshitcheese]

quite. 'very nice' certainly falls hideously short, 'fucking phenomenal' perhaps close but lets leave it at 'yum'.

[sor7en07]

fuck. so good.
