Great choice Paul, many thanks! For me it’s as much about the band as Ms. Lwin. Burundi drums, funky bass and Matthew Ashman’s sterling guitar work. Aaah!

Thank you so much. Bow Wow Wow was so much more than “I Want Candy!”

Always a favorite of Karen and mine. So happy to have a rip from the original 12-inch done your way.

I remember seeing the Top Of The Pops performance of this track. Great production which was quite different from what was around at that time.

Thanks for this Paul 🙂

Great choice Paul. Brilliant song, and I’ve always loved that sleeve. The photographer did an amazing job. I’ve been meaning to go find the location for years (it’s somwhere near Box Hill, Surrey I believe) but never got round to it. Maybe this is the push I need!

Right – I’m doing it this weekend! It’s gonna be sunny, and with Google 3D maps and Streetview (which I didn’t have last time I researched this) I think I’ve found the likely area it was at, or at least the starting point for my adventure:

Will let you know how I get on. 🙂
