@jonsilence Pretty much true ... though don't forget David Gamson for much of that, Cupid & Psyche '85 was so far ahead of its time that it remained nearly impossible to copy for at least a decade after it was released: I can only imagine the tension between Green & Gamson after being couped up for the better part of a year, non-stop, debating every last detail ... while making that record. Usually that ends in disaster, in their case, lucky for us, the results where incredible.

That's Mayo Thompson from Red Crayola. He was involved with Rough Trade, and produced a lot of the bands on the label at that time. Scritti Politti toured with Red Crayola in the early days. I saw them both at the Acklam Hall in 1978 or 1979, great bands the pair of them, but early Scritti were astonishing.

@jrmetmoi - can't remember now, some American A&R man or a lawyer i guess, i just went over the original tape about a week ago too, it will get shown again on BBC4, keep looking out for it.

Wood Beez was the true beginning of Green/Scritti discovering his own genius. I was living in England (relocated from California) when it was released as a single, and it sonically towered above everything around it at the time. And to this day it is still in a class by itself.

Green has a deep voice when talking but that really unusual soft voice when singing. Awesome.

This is a brilliant clip: from marxist indie-pop to intelligent chart-pop! ... and back to indie music with Early & White Bread Black Beer, both recommended!
