Ash - Goldfinger (Official HD Video)

Order ‘1977’ splatter vinyl here: ashband.lnk.to...
Ash’s debut LP ‘1977’ has been reissued for the first time on stunning black and white splatter vinyl. This spectacular debut release was a defining record for 90s guitar music, reaching No.1 in the Official UK Albums Chart, and going to achieve platinum status. It includes singles ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Kung Fu’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Angel Interceptor’ and ‘Oh Yeah’ which remain staples of the Ash’s live show.
This is the first time the album has been re-issued since its 1996 release.
After 3 months in Rockfield Studios with maverick Oasis producer Owen Morris Ash emerged with their debut album ‘1977’. Released ahead of the chart topping ‘1977’, ‘Goldfinger’ was the band’s first single to enter the UK Top 5 in April 1996.
Influenced by the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson’s nutso chord changes, and John Barry’s James Bond themes, ‘Goldfinger’ was written across three continents; Tim’s childhood bedroom in Downpatrick, through jetleg induced insomnia in a Japanese hotel room, and on the road in North America.
The video was directed by Mike Brady and filmed in London.

[@einsteintheory828]

its just one of my favorites and i just think it really captures a few different things in pop music. i can see how some would not agree. i think it's basically a form of perfection for this era of "brit-pop" music@@andrewmay1299

[@djgeneralbounce]

Ash are such an underrated band. Huge in the 90s but (wrongly) not remembered in the same way as Oasis and so on. This and "Girl From Mars" are absolute chooooooooons

[@1980extremeG]

Yeah they are, I agree. Ash should have gotten more credit than they actually did. They weren't pure indie, they had some punky/grungy tracks too so they were a crossover band basically. First gig I ever went to way back in 1998! Amazing fun show. I never listen to them much these days because I'm into metal now but they will always have a special place in my heart. As to why they were underrated; 2 reasons:- There were loads of other indie/britrock bands at the time that got the all the media attention instead, so they went under the radar (basically their breakthrough into the market was bad timing). Also they lacked image. Look at Oasis back then; the Gallagher brothers antics help mould their marketing image, consequently enhancing record sales. Ash were just as talented but didn't get the same adulation. That's kinda unfair but it's just how the music industry operates sadly.

[@chichipato3]

Up the 90's!

[@clancy76]

Beautiful song, I was always disappointed Ash never broke here in the US.

[@herbertbeiderbecke]

this song reminds me one of the most thoughtless and happy times of my life... teenhood, so sweet and so cruel...

[@BenjyDale]

I loved the key changes in this song. Loved the mid-90s in general too, when the charts were mostly just indie vs dance. The charts died in 2001 with Popstars / Hear'Say, and other reality TV sheep that followed thereafter.

@@ngkktht774 You speak the truth friend. That is exactly what I think too.

[@KomackinoA]

Agreed. The chords are so strangely arranged. This isn't just a banger (which it is), it's kind of a strange number for a leadoff single. A top 5 hit in the UK no less. Loved 1977. Such a great great album.
