Associates: No

on my 18th birthday, my friends organised suprise tickets to see Billy at Ronnie Scotts as they knew i was mad about him. It was a fantastic night, i even got to meet him back stage and got a kiss on the cheek - all my birthdays came at once! Still loving that voice, thanks for putting on.

This whole show deserves a DVD release. It's one of the best showcases of Billy MacKenzie's voice. Outstanding.

The simplicity somehow evokes the cavernous splendour of the original production. He is without question one of the most original talents of all time. But also let us not forget Alan Rankine's part in this classic.

2 years later I'm back watching this and it STILL blows me sideways. And I still think the full show deserves a release. God this arrangement is beautiful.

What a truly unusual song. You would think that stripped of the weird background noises and sound effects of the studio version, it would sound slightly less extraordinary but au contrare. The sparseness of this really brings the strangeness of the piano melody to the fore. I believe that's the classically trainedHoward Hughes on piano. This definitely has more in common with classical than pop music and has long reminded me of Erik Satie. Alongside Skipping, standout track on an oustanding LP.

This is one of my fave Associates Songs along with Transport from Central. To capture the bleak austerity of the soul is amazing.

Wow, what a find. In its original version this song was a disturbing and psychotic plea. Here, sparsely pared down to just Billy and piano, it becomes a poignant, haunting lament. Darkly beautiful Rest in peace sweet Billy.

Sublime.

[@LADYSULKER]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ozmonaut1]

Sublime version, IMO better than the studio one, as much as I loved the Associates, some of their later stuff was too overproduced for my tastes.

[@ronaldvanderkleij]

Yes for no.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Coming from a Kate Bush fan that actually means something.
