Scritti Politti-First Boy in This Town.mp4 

Some of the best rhythm and vocal arrangements I've ever heard! The keys and drums ( Gamson and Maher) are a high water mark still. The very best of the best of the 80's !!

Pure sweet honey to my ears, thank you Green so much for all this music masterpieces.

One of the very best 80's groups who were sadly underrated!

A very underrated group. They are amazing.

I had Cupid and Psyche and Provision on cassette. Had to use the bic biro to always roll the tape back in its wheel. Oh the 80s;)

All the songs from Provision put a smile on my face :-)

One the best bands ever ! For those yet to be initiated... well a treat awaits you, spread the word

Every time we hear these Scritti Politti music masterpieces we always discover new sounds. Incredible.....Thanks Green Gartside.

Yes steve .. Green is an Absolute Genius, way way far Ahead of his time, incredible & this video I can sit and watch this production all day long . Its purely unbealiveable. As well looking at shade,s first intro into , the pop world danceing .. [what a guy Green is ]. I thank.you for makeing , it all Real Green.

J'adore ce groupe scritti Politti

GREAT track! And it still IS!!!

The way the background singers sing through this songs choruses, very reminisce of the "jingle singers" whom in old time radio advertising sold services and advertised products, we love it!!!

let's not forget david gamson please! he's the genius keyboard player on this track

another brilliant 80s song that should have been a top 10 hit not only no 63 i had this on 7"

Never understood why this wasn't a hit, nice melodies

When i watched that video atención tv, back at 88, i bought the album without any reference about the group. Still love it.

sunny 80s lovely song lovely video

I liked so much this song and video at the time...I think still I do....

Cupid and psyche 85 best album of the 80s

Great Studio Band ! They didn't want to tour. Therefore in my opinion they would have been bigger if they had ...

Love this so much

Love this video, he should return to this sound

2022 y conservo las cintas de cassette de este gran grupo, que me abrió musicalmente los oídos a un nuevo sonido no escuchado en España. Gracias por los grandes recuerdos de mi juventud!!!.

This music is a lot more complex than it has ever been the points for. I think one day, it will be recognised

I Love this song😻

Wow. This was my jam back in the day! Thanks for posting. :)

love sick for this song

How come in our decade's videos everyone looks polite and happy and not pretending .... must be l'air du temps

Awesome pop. Simple as.

I love the whole story surrounding Green & rough trade and his formula abt the word - Girl. I'm a middle child surrounded by siblings with very strong musical tastes and the philosophy that goes with but Scritti is mine and defend them to the death

It just does not get any better, Green shares a surf board with the Beach Boys

Fricken loving this song again after all these years- thankyou for letting me forget corona for a while SP

Bring back to dat time 😜

Fantastic

Amazing

Great

The late 50's fashion reprisal in the late 80's..

3:21 I need a time machine!

Fantastic song, There's that hat again though. Did he have it glued on to his head for a year?

Real beat

how was this only #63 in their home country and released nowhere else but NZ? What were Brits doing in 1988? I love the video by the way, nothing cheesy about it.

Motown vs Beachboys

Green looks disturbingly thin here. Perhaps the pressure to "break America" was getting to him.

Green should've given the dancing a go!

You must sing togetter whit snow ....sound and his voice the same.....good

I honestly thought they were massively successful I paid so little attention to popular culture then and now - bu this lot were good - this is poor in places but beautiful in others

This album will still blow your mind in 2020! I just wish that Green would have taken off that stupid hat!!! This video is still outrageously silly and tongue-in-cheek but it still works!

with scritti its the syncopation/best. As funky as hell, layered, and interesting chords/ progressions/modulations. Shame he couldnt.tour. Tourig is the life blood of.longevity.

the first few seconds of this video is cut off.

😜😅👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥁🎺🎹
