1982 single issued on the 2 Tone label. Once the ska revival scene faded in 1981, Jerry Dammers pushed the label in a funk - soul - pop direction witch acts like The Higsons, The Friday Club and The Apollinaires .

  • The Higsons slagged off Jerry Dammers' production on this tune. It's their song, but I have to say they're wrong. The production and the direction Dammers took this song is brilliant. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. It is actually The Higsons best. Dammers knew what he was doing.

  • amazing track, i was gonna get this played at my wedding, but cudnt get a copy, bollocks!!

  • I heard this song on Pandora and I can't get enough! This song is so satisfying to listen to.

  • Really like this 1982 dancer for much of the same reason I still play the Talking Heads - great vocals/beats/instrumentation - thank you for posting this great group with the way cool horns and storm effects! Very hot - Happy New Year!! DAVEDJ
