Madchester before Madchester

Feckin ace ACR!

The live versions of PT are superb ❤❤❤

Still ace these,went to see them at the cresent in york the other day, fab!

Saw them in the Heaven club London opening for Throbbing Gristle. This gig changed my life.

Wow. I saw these guys at the Brixton Academy 1980, maybe 1981 (I'm so fracking old), based on the strength of the 12" of this track. I don't think I appreciated how good they were. Good times.

DJ still drumming up a quiet moody storm!

Ho il CD è una ristampa del 2018, è un bel disco loro sono molto bravi

Ho diversi CD di questo gruppo, mi piace molto questa canzone

Only 500 eh.... interesting :)

You will hate me for this but Half Man Half Biscuit was so much better than A Certain Ratio, though I think this is great.

Cool live version!!

Marvellous

rest in peace

Haven't seen this vid, I've heard the track and bought it, but this is much better, I feel that they were trying hard to be at least as good as Joy Division, love this

Amazing rendition from the best M’cr band.

early 80,,s they had the best wedge haircuts in the music industry and abc saxophonist

in my DNA

Nice nice nice

Still as good when they play live now .....

Met Jez last week Bought one of his artworks Proper top guy

515

Needs a re-release after the year we've all had

Terrible audio. I am going to have to stick with the non video version - of the single, not the long version

Remember watching this at the time. Such a great voice - the beautiful Denise Johnson. R.I.P.

Woah! Thanks KZbin for recommending this :O I wish I could see PT live once again.

35 years later and the new ACR LP is out today. You can't doubt their perseverance and longevity. Especially when it's pretty much the same band members.

Sadly, it was Denise Johnson, who recently passed away. It seems that Hooky, gets on stage with almost any other band where ever possible; He has appeared playing some songs with The Durutti column 94/95. Section 25. Smashing pumpkins ( with Jack his Son). Peter Hook, should of left new order after Movement album. He would of been bigger than new order by himself. Like Paul Weller.🎤

so great !! thx

Denise Johnson R.I.P.

This was Manc music pre E. No fucker would dance.

My favorite Manchester band besides joy division...acr opened for new order when I saw them and the police “man” knelt on my neck But I will send you better version...

I bought the ACR extended mix CD, still have it. I found ACR dance track a bit jarring, so for my friend at Manray Cambridge (More for myself) edited. So while searching on KZbin I found it but a more chilled version. Trapped indoors because of virus. He hit me up with a song requests to listen to that we loved in the 80s. I am so happy but.. The video reminded me of Xymox Imagination. The song uses a sample of 16 days - Gathering Dust - This Mortal Coil. Does anyone know where this song is available? I can’t find it on iTunes. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Woow lovely

That looks like Andy Connell (later of Swing Out Sister) on keyboards.

I love Railway children songs

This world needs Porcupine Tree to function normally, Come back Porcupine Tree.

I'm sure I played that gig too?

Best audio version. Thanks for uploading this beautiful song. Oddly, this passed me by in 1984 even though I was a huge New Order/Martin Hannett fan. Now if only this was availble on CD. Added to my favourites and 1980s playlist.

Great band playing a great song

This brings me, quite literally, too much joy!

any chance you can email me about this video - I was at the show - travelled from the US - [email protected]

The ACR must be big CAN fans!

*Rhaphanidosis* is the act of inserting the root of a plant of the genus Raphanus (commonly known as a radish) into the anus. It is mentioned by Aristophanes as a punishment for adultery in Classical Athens in the fifth and fourth century BC. It is also allegedly a punishment for other sex-related crimes, such as promiscuity and homosexuality. Later classical references to the punishment include Catullus 15 where percurrent raphanique mugilesque (both radishes and mullets will run you through) is threatened against those who cast lascivious eyes on the poet's boyfriend. There is some doubt as to whether the punishment was ever enforced or whether the reference to it in the debate between Right and Wrong in The Clouds of Aristophanes[2] should be understood as signifying public humiliation in general. However, Nigette Spikes has it that when enforced as a capital punishment, tubers so deposited were chosen to be as rough as possible so as to cause death by internal hemorrhaging.

I love Hooky to death but depending on the dates, he could have been a jerk or just kidding here lol Probably drunk too.
