oh my god, I met this band back when I was a teenager and went backstage at the Marquee - got photos of me with Tim and Paul somewhere!!

It's a decent enough track but nowhere near as good as 'Every Second of the Day' which should of been chosen as the first single.

@knownpleasures Sorry,couldn't agree with you less. This is a fabulous song and how this band never became mega is one of the great mysteries of the last half century.

I saw Andy Kershaw interview this band on Whistle Test in 1985 and they then sang this song live. I was knocked out and was sure they had a massive future. It was a very minor hit and I never heard of them again. I suppose it just shows that you can be too good for the mass market. Far better to offer mediocrity like Take That and the Spice Girls and mop up the pre-pubescent and menopausal markets.

Anyone remember when music was as good as this? Seriously, there was a time when this liquid gold was being pumped out daily. Guess the well ran dry...

Hi Tim, Was bored and was searching 'You Tube' for old tracks and remembered you used to be in this group. Dont know if you remeber me but used to live around the corner from you in Petts Wood - a life time ago. David Abbott
