Blitz: 'Those Days' (GPB Sugarfrost Mix)

Late-period Blitz but still cool. They were the finest oi band of the lot. This is a remix of the original from the 1989 album 'The Killing Dream'. Specifically, I've pruned the intro back, grafted a different set of chords on (essentially the bridge), doubled the first bridge and second chorus, and heavily resected the midsection. Finally, fragments of the original guitar-only intro and midsection were teased out, retuned and implanted at various points to add harmonics (inspired by the guitar overdubs in 'Warriors'; check that one out on headphones. Very classy!). But hey, that's just the boring technical stuff; turn it up loud and enjoy.

You remember when more and more, now and then, it's more like all the time, it's all the wasted time. Tomorrow's never there, yesterday has no cares, lost in memories, wild, wild, free, free. Those days, those days, they're gone, they're gone.

Who'd have thought that punk rock could read and sound so genuinely wistful? Many of Blitz's (and a surprising amount of other 1970s-80s UK punk bands')melodies were strongly reminiscent of old English folk music.

Creative. I like! Thought this whole LP was much better than people gave it credit for.

I loved Blitz, but it seemed to me, their artustic egos took over, BEFORE they made a success of themselves, and after that, they were'nt, well I dunno'.....as aggressive, energetic? Something was misssing and this song proves it.
