Its competent enough, but he must have been gutted when he first heard the Buggles version.

Love this band, great vocals, crunchy bass playing, just super sweet all around!

Blew me away when it came out and I stumbled across it in Woolies. Still working its magic. Shhh Let’s keep them a secret for just us.

Yes, I know Mr Woolley co-wrote the song with Messers Horn and Downes (of The Buggles - of which Woolley WAS a member at the time), and they both recorded/released their versions almost simultaneously (Mr Woolley's being recorded with Camera Club). I far prefer The Buggles' version, and it's NOT just due to familiarity. This version starts off with a frenetic - practically manic-sounding percussion opening, and goes into the lyrics after what can best be described as a false drum intro. This version sounds as though they just wanted to get through this - 'rush it', so to speak as fast as possible - so they'd be done with it. True, neither Messers Horn nor Woolley would ever be mistaken for the best vocalist, but, whereas Mr Horn (and his version) use his limited vocal abilities to good effect, it's practically the opposite here. It's somewhat like, 'ok, Woolley's no pitch, that's cool! So, if he sings it really fast, that's gotta be 'original'-sounding!" Camera Club's version is a (far-placed) second to The Buggles' well-crafted version. It really falls flat on its face.

Well done gentleman !!

The default version of this from the Buggles often brings me to tears of 80s nostalgia. I don't understand how I didn't know about this until now.

Bay city rollers the reigning champs at doing this song Period!

演奏も上手ですよね。何かジェファーソンエアプレインを連想させますね。

カッコ良すぎます🎉

Thanks for posting! I had never heard this version with Thomas Dolby.

Bay City Rollersというより、明らかにThe Rollersに近くて萌えるね。

Look up Tim Moore, better than all of them!

This is the original version I knew. I was very disappointed in the Buggles version and am distraught that it is better known. THIS VERSION ROCKS!

Absolutely beautiful!!

I can smell the cocaine in this one.

Another good version of this song❤

Esta es la origi o cover?

Was Thomas Dolby on keyboards for this version?

This was probably the worst thing this great band did, it's their original songs that you get into them for, as Will Birch (drummer/lyricist) and John Wicks (rhythm guitar/music) were a great songwriting team, one of the best of the power pop era in the late 70's and early 80's.

wonderful. thanks.

splendid sounds

superb

ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT !!!

sensational.

great discovery !

Bravo!

Wowww. Lovely attempt.

抜群の演奏性とフィーリング！素晴らしい ！ありがとう - ジョン

ゆみさんというと、ピアノというイメージだったのですが、こういう時はオルガンなのですね。。

Wow......great cover guys👏👏👏.......im sure Bill Nelson woud approve.

WTF!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭

I enjoy this version. It is more experimental but pop. Geoff and Trevor's breakdown of their version had intention how they built up their version. I always thought the Buggles were an interesting concept. They were originally the Bugs. They were envisioned to be what if the Beatles came out during an age were technology ruled music. There was a band called the Bugs and they changed the name.

didnt know people hated this song like THAT. this is the best version in my opinion. adds a grime the BCR version didnt have. long live power pop!

Thank you for this. I am a lifelong Camel fan and Breathless is my favourite song of the many great Camel sets. In fact this is the exit music for my funeral to bring life back to the gathering. Others are Drafted (Nude), Never Let Go, City Life, Simple Pleasures.Watching the Bobbins. Camel are seriously under-rated band.

Superb!!

This version should be in DDR

懐かしいねー🎉 レコーズ 当時この手のバンドは 山ほどいました。 楽曲はヒットの要素が 十分にあったけれど 残念😢

Sounds a lot like Talking Heads. I guess it's the new wave feel of that time. This one is amusing, Trevor Horn did a marvelous job producing and arranging the song.

Buenísimo

Very nice boys X X X X X X I play in duo called BEBOPDUOLUX !!!! In UK.....................

Heard the Buggles version before this, but i grew up listening to the Presidents of the United States of America cover, that one is probably my favorite. I just found out about this one tonight at age 21 😂

Why only 29 seconds of video and the song stops?

This version doesn't really work. But it puts me in a good mood anyway. It's so fast! And fluffy!

Richard Sinclair , no more words

F**k The Buggles.

Un poco de AOR A una banda neoprogresiva fines de los 80's Increible babda veterana ya. Jaja

This isn't great guys. Also it just doesn't sound right done in such a low key. The Bay City Rollers did this song the best. Even better than the original from Tim Moore.

I had this on vinyl but lost it years ago. Thanks for the upload!!
