I used to listen to this on cassette on my first walkman in the summer of 86 when I was 16. My Dad died that summer while it was still in the charts, he was only 55.

Anyway, I was something of a mall rat, so driving down to Dallas (parents driving, I was a few years away) and, being able to wander the Galleria mall for hours was like heaven. I had seen this video on Mtv and found the cassette in a record store, and my dad was cool enough to buy it for me. Other great trax on the cassette, but E=mc2 was the best.

A golden age of music …. Listening back to much of the 80’s, it’s astounding to witness the breadth and scope of artists visions and ideas being executed… it’s clear that the musicians created from their own calling rather than the idea of what might be successful … maybe an inversion of much of what has been going on for many years in the current commercial scene. That’s what was wonderful; bands who were anything but obviously commercial being appreciated for their brilliance and individuality. Love this track. So fresh

yes, the sex line is about don't look now (it was a joke)

I remember watching this video in a pub with my mate in 1986. We didn't know any of the Nicolas Roeg references at that time. I have since seen all of the films. B.A.D, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Talking Heads made some great videos back then. They were less throwaway than the ones made today. "I don't Think I am going to let you stay in the film business" is a line that we quoted a lot at this time. Thanks for the upload.

Just read 'Passion is a fashion' by Pat Gilbert, about the Clash. Was quite excited that Mick Jones lived with his granny in the same block of flats where a friend of mine lives, Christchurch House, top of Brixton Hill.
