michael wade They actually appeared on Top of the Pops with this so did get exposure despite not being in the top fourty.Just not as good as Sulk which is fantastic.
Ah Billy, you never disappointed, always pitch perfect vocals, and songs full of emotion, and art. Folk keep saying, 'Best thing to come out of Scotland' Truth is, you never left Scotland, and you still do us all proud. Can you imagine if Billy were to walk onto the X Factor stage today? Mr Cowell, this man embodied music, not like the utter shite, you parade before us, you money orientated arsehole. Billy, you are never forgotton. ;-)
This is vocally phenomenal; when he comes down through the octaves you can't hear any break in his voice at all; technically it should almost not be possible.
This record always reminds me of the summer I left school and has stayed with me ever since. Rest in Peace Billy, God bless & thanks for all the great music.
This makes me happy, this music reminds me who i really am, who i used to be. I need u to pray for me, for my soul, psique and body. love u people, GOD bless u all.
OMG !!!! Thank You for posting this! An Absolute Classic !! Still sounds Fresh as Ever! Incredible! R.I.P Billy, So Sadly Missed :o( The Legendary & Beautiful Billy Lives On. XXXXXXXX
@scottwebb Out of the many many many best things to come out of Scotland musically.Alan Rankine had left by this point and apart from this track i was somewhat dissapointed by this Lp partly as it didnt have the same extraordinary production values as Sulk.
@stereoloov I've always considered Perhaps a deeply flawed record. I've tried hard to like it but although there are some very good songs on it, overall it feels messy & lacking in direction. It also sounds for the most part, very much of its time which is to say dated. I think I probably feared the worst from the very 1st time I saw the cover. Billy's stylist really did him no favours! Of course following up the peerless Sulk was never going to be easy but this was never an Associates album.
