This is the re-recorded version from the period just after the band split up. Der Kommissar had been a hit in the USA and the label persuaded Andy Piercy to continue as "After The Fire". he re-recorded a couple of songs with session players and tried to get a follow up hit. Personally I prefer the original version on 'Batteries Not Included'
Sorry, I'm not technologically advanced enough to upload anything to YouTube! Go over to ebay or gemm and maybe you can find the vinyl album for sale.
I could swear there was another version of this song, one with a harder sound to it-and a synthesiser doing the solo instead of a saxaphone. Does anyone remember this?
Best music ever!!!

Yes, that'd be the album version; don't know where this version came from! Almost doesn't even sound like them...

Well I bought the single! I remember it being played on London's Capital Radio but it then disappeared. Glad it lives on here - it deserves it.
