Something for the weekend
March 26th, 2010
What a lovely record this was. Watching this it’s hard to believe that kid singing would go on to put out a brilliant solo single on Factory Records (made with members of A Certain Ratio and New Order) and then, sadly, die at the age of 38.
Good grief,I had no idea they were British. What a great record though.
For some random reason, this – Charlie Rich's Did You Happen To See, and Franki Valli's My Eyes Adored are always popping into my noggin.
Sad Sweet Dreamer indeed.
Thanks for the bell bottomed memory
Radio Luxembourg with my blue tranny* under the covers.
*that'll be the radio.
it's a proper sad story isn't it. his son was killed too. a factory connection doesn't seem like a good and happy thing these days does it. that poor chap out of section 25 had a sad tale too

Much better than I remember it, maybe I was too young. It's quite beautiful
