"For a rhythm machine he's got a box from Panasonic with an on/off switch, 3 pushbuttons and a price tag of $10. His vocal mike is a Sony cardioid he's owned for 15 years. His headphones are this set of humongous metallic blue cans labelled "Vanco Co-Axial II" on one side. And over in one corner there is a dusty Panasonic Dolby noise reduction unit. Which he doesn't use. "I've had it 2 years. But I haven't really figured it out yet." And somehow, with this hodgepodge, the man makes music. Good music. Gives you hope, doesn't it?" - Musician Magazine 1983

This is one of the most mainstream songs he's written, IMHO, but that doesn't make it any less talented. I can imagine scores of 80s bands playing this, but most of all I'd like to hear a coked up mid-80s David Byrne singing this with talking heads. But he never did, and our Stevie rocks it. It's just a shame that he never got the chance to record in a real studio with a real band and a talented producer. I think then he'd be up there with the legends.
Chantilly Lace is RSM's rarest recording. 5 Acetate pressings were made, four 7inch and only one 12inch, which is still in the possession of the label owner, Captain Ozone.
