@Stoker1959 are you THE Stoker? If so, you sir,are a genius! Best drummer EVER!!

[WingersHampsteadHome]

GENIUS! How was this not issued as the follow-up to Geno?! Nice one MistaSid

[MistaSid]

@WingersHampsteadHome I fully agree, another No.1 for sure, everyone I've ever played this song to falls in love with it, can't believe it wasn't released as a single

[tommyluvstraci]

Was that Rico on the trombone?

[MistaSid]

@tommyluvstraci No it was Dexys' very own 'Big' Jimmy Patterson . Absolute class

My son's name is Desmond. His third birthday is April 28th. And this is his favo(u)rite song in the world. He loves it so much that we have a cassette of nothing but this song repeated for 90 minutes. He demands that I play it whenever i drive. I bought this record at age 12 in 1990 with a jar full of pennies, having no idea about the magnificence of its content. i merely liked its back-cover text.

Tiffanys Great yarmouth ,,,many years ago DMR were support act for two tone bands ,think they were selecter and the specials,,,,, they've both long gone from my memory but being at the front of the crowd when the Horn section was giving it some is a moment I wont forget....
