Can’t wait to hear this! Thank you DJPaul!
I like Bow Wow! Thanks Paul 🙂
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 🙂
I love that performance. Thank you Mark 🙂
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!
Thank you Jermajesty. If you ever get to go I would love to see some pictures just to see how the location has changed. 🙂
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. 🙂
Thanks Paul. The 3 cd boxset Your Box Set Pet comes out in a couple of weeks. I’ve ordered it. I hope it’s good.
I have ordered that too, Omar. It CAN´T be NOT GOOD 🙂
