Magical. Still love it after all these years. Used to cover this song in another Christchurch-based rock band I played with in the 90s. Some of my fondest memories are absolutely BLASTING this song out in a tiny hallway where our band used to practice.

So Bailter Space played in NY in late eighties.Oasis could’ve been inspired by the vocals. It is the vocals that remind me of Oasis

@@chrisst8922 Apparently was left in the back of a taxi.

[@chrisst8922]

@@animateangus In New York he said. I could only speculate but I would wonder whether Parker might have been distracted by the interest in it. At that point he might have lost it. Or retired it. It was valued at the time at around $90000, there could be a motivation there.

[@ME-ru4hv]

Holy Wow!

[@alisterpoulgrain1760]

I think somewhere along the production line the songs Retro and Splat have been confused and mislabelled, you see Retro means going backward and Splat is what happens when the rockets have landed in the wrong place? Both great videos and songs with no lyrical reference to their titles.

Boogr Some similar guitar sounds, some similar rhythms, some different chords and a completely different vocal melody.

[@keithmoon8838]

Umm..Pavement were actually influenced by The Gordons/Bailter Space..

[@alittlebitoflight]

They were known to each other - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3fdm4ZontWea5o - but Bailter Space had a much longer history kzbin.info/www/bejne/epunlIiCjKpkfrs

Hafta admit I got here and 999 likes on this pup.....so yeah gave it the "like" sight unseen as it were. But actually turned out to be that this is an enjoyable tune, with some nice distorto guitar. I really only know their Tanker album, on which I like a few songs a lot.

@@GBH001 Considering Noel recently admitted he had the chills and the verlaines on his playlists you might be incorrect. Australia has been ripping off NZ for years makes sense that others do. Flying Nun was actually very big on underground campus radio stations in the US in the 80s
