Thanks, still can't find the song anywhere online, which seems strange and it isn't the same song as the reggae one posted.

Okay, the hype has got me. I love these bombastic primates who’ve dug around in the drama club dressing up box. Give it a go, but especially if you like Sparks, Suede, stuff like that.

Found this, but that song isn't on it. Maybe they never released it?
Interesting that Tony Thewlis from the Scientists was in the band. I love them.

They play it on my my local radio station, it must have been issued in some format I would have thought.

Heard this on an Amazon 2-part Stephen King miniseries I started watching earlier - the perfect smokey blue jazz voice of Anika Noni Rose portraying the fictitious Sara Tidwell, a singer who was raped and murdered and returns to haunt the good folk of Dark Score Lake. (Well worth a watch btw)
