I thank you, my friend - an avalanche of foul language was avoided because of your vid...not to mention trapped fingers. Cheers again.

@dfxman A shockingly underrated group. And I, like you, think that's cool. Stuff the hip-&-with-it brigade, what! Wonder what country that pic sleeve is from?

@PanoplyCabaret You have a valid & well-argued point. Maybe I spoke hastily. I saw Suede at Leeds T&C in 1995 & they were damn good; I just recall being annoyed at the time by the sycophantic music press annihilating bands like Slowdive, House Of Love in order to pave the way for nondescripts lik...

This is GREAT! Peppermint Rainbow's version - good as it is - could only have come from the USA; this has a wonderfully English atmosphere & makes me feel a tad homesick...and Royalty are another new name to this former 60s smart-arse. Thanks again ladrocedro.

@pewploid According to Pete Frame (who generally knows what he's talking about) he was called 'Tub Thumper' and is now 'lost in the pages of history'. I like the sound of that. I'm no Yes expert - or fan - but I do adore this odd version of the band.

@caxfingers Precisely. Shit or shit-hot, any band, then or now, doing their thing is alright by me. Too much negativity on this channel. But when the clip is concluded by that hopelessly unfunny dog's knob Steve Wright attempting to take the piss, what can one expect from random ignorant viewers?

Long-overdue first appearance by Metrotone on youtube - thanks IMT. This combo mean a very great deal to me; I don't recall the charming music press saying many nice things about them back in 1997/8 so I decided I liked them before hearing a note. Kiss Me Awake is my fave; Dream Harder a close se...

A stunning Sixties comedown...'really hate these heavy times...peace on Earth has got to come...' Never did, did it? A real period piece, and with John Carter at the helm no less. Brilliant.

If my ears don't deceive me, this IS the superior Peel session cut. Been a loooong time though, I could be wrong!

Superb post! I have this on a free 45 they gave away at a London gig, though I wasn't actually there...do you have the Peel session version? I taped it at the time of broadcast but it's been lost via around 9 house moves since...would kill to hear it again.

Have you ever heard a more stinking pretentious pile of dog's mess? No wonder Syd pissed off. They look like they smell, too.

THIS is what I call a fackin UPLOAD!! Had a cassette of this awesome gig since skooldays, passed around in secret & talked about in hushed reverential tones...who'da thought 30 years down the line the whole globe would have access to it? I'm glad it has! THANKS FOR THIS.

Best quality of this track on youtube thus far..love the photo montages too. A magnificent upload, leopalop .WHY were this band so slagged at the time? Still, what the fuck did the music press know...ever??

I used to think the Spiritualized 7" demo was the ultimate version, but having just heard this I agree with all here...a lost killer, fucking superb. Thanks, Ardbug.

@MapsOfJupiter I found billyshitcheese's post but it's a different version...the one in the documentary is very sparse-sounding, real echoey...a demo or live recording perhaps? Guess if I dig deep enough it'll turn up in time. I like things dog rough!

What do originals of this fetch?? STUPENDOUS 45, would love a copy for my Wurlitzer 2900!

The phrase 'lost gem' is much over-used...but not here. This is superb, adore the Mellotron washes too...thank you for introducing this to me.

@Wilthomer66 It was - and is - a great compilation...and important too, the first of countless LPs to showcase obscure 60s acts. I recall it was advertised on TV too. Bloody awful sleeve, mind! I reckon it was put out to cash in on the Mod revival, though there's precious little Mod vibe on there...

@mook3312 I think this is Steve...though Hooky's defo on the chorus, he has a very distinctive voice. I blame that know-all Mark Johnson for this; he claimed in 'An Ideal For Living' that Steve Morris did all the Western Works vocals and it's been accepted as fact ever since. There's no doubt Bar...

Fab to see this top song on youtube - great video too. I did hear the band were a studio crew and didn't really exist...who knows, or cares? A fine little record, we had it played at our wedding!

@hawkmoon03111951 Wow, seeing such a great band live must be some memory...weren't Tomorrow there as well? Afraid I missed out, was still in nappies at the time! All these distant 60s combos seem like ghosts to me, but a damn sight more worthwhile than the shit that's around now. I guess Boy Meet...

Glorious...and shamelessly ripped off by ponderous prog puppets Arzachel on their (thankfully) only album...retitled 'Queen St Gang'. I think there's a story here somewhere.

What an underrated band...'Lincoln City' is one of my all time faves - and this is better than The Action's original. A comprehensive overview by those in the know is DEMANDED by those who aren't. Meantime thanks retro for this...

@merseymain Prunes take is hard USA garage, awesome - but this version probably WAS cut in a garage,scratchy, suburban& unmistakeably English... Seems to me Electric Prunes were, like West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, superb at providing top tunes for others to steal. See also 'I Had Too Muc...

This is better than the original mix - the 1987 reissue of 'Suicide' featured this & a different take of 'Johnny'...I still can't find the latter on CD. Annoying! Great post, thank you...

How can something as magnificent as this be left in a cupboard for 30 years?? Phil Smee deserves a knighthood.

@gavinpow77 Good point! But one must remember this was a BBC production & back in '84 the F-word was strictly verboten on TV. Same year I recall Southern Comfort being transmitted; the original print is awash with fuck this & fuck that - the BBC cut the lot out but curiously left 2 references to ...

Totally barmy 45 on a par with Pee White and the Magic Strangers...BRILLIANT Euro freakbeat madness. Know nothing bout either band though.... Gratitude for this post!
