I’ve got a mix of sleaze/morning music somewhere that I found online and that was on it. Wouldn’t have guessed it was Swing Out Sister.

Yeah, been playing a lot of the Super FU (formerly Super OK) stuff for the past year or so. There’s some ace stuff in the pipeline and the LP is wicked.

did anyone see the classic albums doc on bbc4 about the making of ā€˜songs from the big chair’? i really enjoyed the bits with chris hughes and dave bascombe (who incidentally made balearic classics like ā€˜driving away from home’ but that’s another story)

anyway… :thinking:

if there’s one thing more balearic than finding a classic tune on an unplayed B-side, it’s finding a classic on a multimillion selling album that you never really listened to in the first place

You’ve just reminded me I found this lovely ambient thing on the b-side of Saturday Night by The Blue Nile, picked up for a quid in Croydon.
