Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin - "Leipzig" (Thomas Dolby cover)

[dlamiss]

the best ever cover version of ANY song-

[mbnurse11]

Love their take on one of the best unknown tracks of the 20th century.

[pontello3]

fantastic track!

[waynefrog]

Really super version! I feel most positive about this! You got it all happening here. And thank you for putting a nice polish on a tasty gem!

[Rumpio]

Presumably this stems from Thomas Dolby appearing in the video of It's My Party!

I heard this version before Thomas Dolby's 25 years ago, and, like annakara, I've been looking for it ever since. Thanks for posting.

the changes are more abrupt in this version, as most of the stewart/gaskin songs do it. I like bot hversions equal. dolby's version is more softly floating like an ufo, but this has more shine and is transporting the melody more powerful.

[whickedlady]

one of my favourite song by the artist

[Prunesqualer]

Reminds me of a bad place my head was in late 80s (ie paranoia).

Last I heard Dave Stewart (about 2002) had moved into Buddhisty material. Anyone know what he's doing now?

[annakara]

Fabulous cover version!

I've been looking for this for years - thank you for posting!

[dlamiss]

[MBBonn]

@AndrewAnthonyHyde You're dead-on - that's a question I'm asking myself for over 25 years now. Though it gained a lot of airplay.
