Now that's what I call music!

I've just remembered the song on side 1 that got ruined. It was the
glorious Spectorish single "They don't know about us" by Tracey
Ullman. She wasn't a particularly great singer. In fact that song was
written by the great Kirsty Macoll and featured some of her original
vocals. At least Tracey Ullman was in some way responsible for
introducing "The Simpsons" to us, so any mediocrity is forgiven. That
song was a massive hit that year and Paul McCartney was even to be
seen on the video. I think he may has also been on the same cassette
with his anti-war, slushy and sentimental "Pipes of peace" - of course
I loved this back in the day! Don't hear you playing that one much
live these days Macca :-)


I wonder what the song was on side 2 that got twisted. I will leave
you with that cliffhanger for now .....
