My mum used to work with Eddi Reader in a knitware factory in Irvine (Might've been Kilwinning, can't remember right) and apparently she was always outlandish and outgoing, good personality :)
I remember reading about this band in an issue of Elle magazine in the late eighties and thinking I should make a point of seeking their music--absent from Midwestern American commercial radio at the time--out. And never did. So here I am, and boy am I glad you posted this! So peppy, gonna be humming it all day! Thanks!
this reminds me of a speical family member cant stop listening to this it reminds me of her she has got reli good taste in music love u loads marien and never forget we always be here for you no matter what one day we shall dance to this together get our groove on
I was doing "something" and this song came on the tv, instead of instantly changing stations, I gave them a chance. Next thing I know, I'm buying the tape downtown! thta was over 20 yo. A fan since then.
To think I was only 9 years old when this was topping the charts is mind boggling!. It was a classic when I was 9, It is a classic when Im 31. Great music never ever has an expiry date.
Wow. I was an exchange student in England in spring 1988 when this came out and it was really big there. Came back home to U.S. during the summer and nobody had heard of them, and only heard it once on the radio (91X in San Diego) about 5 years ago during an "Oldies Weekend". Bought the CD way back then, but have no idea where it is now.
When i first heard this song, i must have been like 17 years old and in love with a exchange student from either austria or sweden... but anyway she had this tape of the band and once i listen to this tape it was all over...i loved tape so much i wound up buying 2 cds!
Thanks for posting this! I was absolutely in LOVE with this CD! I have no idea where it is(I think one of my sisters swiped it from me about 15 years ago) and it's bringing back tons of memories....
I am 16 in 2012 and this song sums up me.
