Interesting to see Brighton. The Suite held 2,000, they were pretty obscure, no way would they have filled it. Unless a support act.

This and Heatwave, Boogie Nights. Memories of Shoreham Community Centre "Disco" on a Monday night circa mid 70's. Everybody went because everyone else went, but apart from that nobody knew why. Checking your watch soon after arrival to see how much more of this we had to endure. Waiting for them to play Black Betty or the token punk track. Highlight was bunking the train back to Southwick afterwards.

They were not popular at the time. I saw them supporting Eddie and the Hotrods. They were too glam (and musical) for punk (remember this was tribal time), and too 'poofy' for the rock audience.

I loved them

Fabulous track, my second favourite Temptations song ( "Ain't too proud to beg" takes top spot).

Perfection:

I couldn’t agree more.

I couldn’t agree more.

4 young geniuses and Martin Hannett in a recording studio, produced a stunning song and sounds. I can’t think of any song at all like it. It doesn’t age imho.

Lovely album cover too .

I went through 19 pages out of 20 to see if anybody had posted this, and as it comes up on my phone it was the last post on the penultimate page.

Love the lyrics too.

Adore the contrasting vocals and the melody.
