Sound of Upstairs at Venus 91 & got my copy for 50p in Grantham record shop or John Menzies once I knew what it was
Read somewhere that Jhonny Marr (plays Guitar) rates it as one of his best riffs

Dunno why it never made it. Such a great pop record. You are right, Marr’s guitar’s so good!

TT are the only band from Sheffield that aren’t remembered as primarily from being from Sheffield
Human League / Cabs / Def Leppard / Pulp / Artics / Joe Cocker - Its always mentioned as if its they’re DNA

Played the Smoove remake at The Social back in March. The only bit of DM left on it is Dave Gahan’s vocals. Everything else is replayed.

I started a new Instagram page recently that fits in here quite nicely. It’s called @popgoesthesound and does what it says on the tin

^I like Battisti. Need to dig deeper there
Whilst on European Pop, here are Spanish legends Mecano, who tend to ‘polarise’ opinion in these parts… personally, I think the guitars and chorus are fantastic

Reminds me of this album, which I played to death way back when but somehow completely forgot when doing the 25 x 25 thing.

I’m convinced that Lucio Battisti is the Italian Paul McCartney. If you want a crash course, I’d start with these albums:
Anima latina
la batteria, il controbasso, eccetera
Una giornata uggiosa
Una donna per amico
Enjoy!
