The track "The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme" was originally intended as a baseball theme, and almost lived up to its name when it was up for consideration as the theme for BBC's World Cup Grandstand during the broadcast of the 1986 Soccer World Cup in Mexico.

  • Dunno if you all agree but for me this is just the toughest and most sensuous piece of electronica ever. WHY wasn't it actually picked as World Cup Theme, how superb would that have been. New Order E For England, good though it was, sounds pretty damn feeble next to this. Anyone know what happened to Colourbox? I seem to remember they used to fight a lot, Oasis style.

  • Always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to dance around the room.

    Cheers for putting this up.
