Actually, make that 25 years - I'm sure this was around 82/83 - not 88. That's quarter of a century to you kids :-)

20 years on and STREETS ahead of most of the crap churned out nowadays. Now, this is the equivilent of one of our parents, 20 years ago, saying "ooh, not as good as Freddie & The Dreamers"! But correct me if I'm wrong, kids today would find this track cool right? If so, that's the real test of time! Respect.

I have to agree C.O.D's version is much better. It just has that 80's feel. What can I say I'm an 80's chick. Love this one.

I'm with you. I,too, have been looking for this one for quite some time. It's funny no one seemed to know what I was referring to, but I didn't give up.....and look You Tube does it again. Thanks a lot Merlotje. I guess I'd better return the favor and upload the old cuts/songs.
