This is a favourite of mine + Mrs G’s for a bit of a mid-to-late evening shape-throwing.
First because it’s a great song.
And then mine because every listen to my copy in the paper sleeve on Fast Product brings back the awe I felt on hearing the delivery of yet more true new music in that strange and wonderful period post-punk – and the befuddlement over the general lyrical drift and the particular reference to sericulture (look it up).
And then Caz’s because a) she likes it and b) her friends threw a party and Martyn Ware DJed and danced with us to it.
He’s a great bloke, and a great DJ.
Stayed on dance floor for entire length of Tainted Love 12″. No mean feat…
Caz – You mean the 12″ version which goes into Where Did Our Love Go? Definitely no mean feat!
Paul – I know EXACTLY what you mean when you mention how this record still has that same power for you. And I agree!
OH yes – partivcularly thate xtended bit inthe middle where the only thing to do is hop on the spot…
OH yes – particularly that extended bit in the middle where the only thing to do is hop on the spot from one leg to the other…
