One of my favourite of many much loved Jimmy Somerville songs - and what a fantastic video! Unique in celebrating the radical difference that Combination Therapies made to the potential quality of life and longevity of many people living with HIV - even allowing safe pregnancy. CT can dramatically reduce the risk of a very recent exposure to HIV becoming an actual infection. Treatment is not cheap or without side-effects - but suddenly there was real cause to hope for a full and happy life.
@Deezzzl Sorry I've misunderstood your first post: I've read that you did not remember the name of Jimmy's EP where this song is.

@PSB81Fan LOL so why did you try to correct me when I'm right too?
Whatever…I'm sure "willkoff" have found the album (or the EP) ;·) by now.

@PSB81Fan Yes and no… Search for "Manage the damage" on Amazon and you'll find the album I refer too.

@Deezzzl The 2000 album is a US EP called Root Beer. One of his best songs but quite bad video.

@willkoff
The one I got is "Manage The Damage" from 1999, but there is also a release from 2000 without the bonus track; "Something To Live For" (Radio mix).
