[@cjbollandmusic]

Probably the best moment of my life , hearing this at 33 + 8 in Jays club 1986 (Thanx Max La menace) in Antwerp with a strobe at same tempo.

[@truesurf]

I know the feeling, I heard this in 1987 here in Houston at Club Power Tools

[@MrEricPerrier]

Yes, played this way, it was a hit in some Antwerp clubs. Still love it to the max after 34 years.

[@TROTHofficial]

Voor mij was het eind 1987, in de Boccaccio in Destelbergen. Deze trage versie vond/vind ik fijner dan het origineel.

[@lucandreas2618]

COOL, met gesloten ogen strontzat ... YEAH ik wil terug

[@ntr10me]

We all owe a debt here.

[@willwelch2651]

I used to play a lot of 12" SH discs at the wrong speed and they were AWESOME! A lost music archive of wonderfulness...

[@bobcongo8253]

A split second - Flesh (33 rpm +8 Pitch) brought me here. TY LYRICS: Edgar Lustgarten reading from "Death on the Crumbles (1924)", from the BBC Radio show "Scales of Justice":"By strange coincidence, a thunderstorm had been brewing when Mahon, doing his grisly work at the bungalow, was dealing with the most grisly job of all--the head, the woman's head. He had severed it from the trunk, built a huge fire in the sitting room, placed her head upon it, then (I owe a debt here to Edgar Wallace, who edited the transcript of the Mahon trial), then the storm broke with a violent flash of lightning and an appalling crash of thunder. As the head of Emily Kaye lay upon the coals, the dead eyes opened, and Mahon fled out to the deserted shore. When he nerved himself to return, the fire had done its work. The head was never found..."

[@stephandhaene35]

Remember "The Prestige" in Antwerp. We were doing a line dance on this song. Gave a great sense of unity.

[@dietwinverhoeven6522]

endlesssss emotions !!!!!the time that music had an identity !!

[@davidcampbell1936]

Way back in the last century, I used to play this at this speed on ^6UVS-FM, in Perth, Western Australia.

[@connorkiss2614]

And it’s still played on RTRFM!

[@petervanderbracht5402]

Magic sound..........so glad to have this one in my vinyl collection ..........

[@ICTS22]

An old friend sent me this a few days ago. Just listen now. Really good like a totally different song.

[@sandydunn7124]

Can't believe I stumbled across this. I used to play this track at 33 rpm A LOT! This and Colorbox's World Cup Theme. Thanks for this a blast from the past.

[@reddragdiva]

when I got the original 12", I played the b-side at 16 rpm to hear that the sample was saying "Ladies and gents' digital"

[@stephandhaene35]

I remember "The Prestige" in Antwerp when we're doing some kind of line dance to this.

[@martykey1574]

Still have my original copy from Redeye Records Sydney, like both pitches

[@lucandreas2618]

best song ever in that time ;)

[@a090006]

For me the most beautiful version off this song,which is also one off the most incredible sounds I still admire after hearing this in Antwerp in the amazingly( not exciting anymore,but still can see inside!) A.B ,greetings

[@MrEricPerrier]

Been to higher profile gigs but SH at Paddington Town Hall in the 1980s was cosmologically profound: second to nothing.

Mi comentario sobre el tema Harold & Cindy Hospital, del LP., D Severed Heads: The Big Bigot..Harold & Cindy es a 45 rpm.no a 33 rpm, como el resto del disco. Como nadie lo dice, me animo a decirlo porque es como Dead eyes..a 33 rpm, una bobada...Harold...,Dead..y Greater reward, Big Crash...me enloqueceran siempre...HAROLD & CINDY HOSPITAL es a 45 rpm. Gracias a la vida. JORGE.
