I love the fact that this was only available on the front of a music rag, and the first verse jumps straight into a vitriolic attack on music journalists! lol

While I am a huge Squeeze fan, I agree with @liamfinn that Rockpile improved this song. They took their time with it. This feels rushed. Still D&T, so it's always good.

@TheRestarick I'm at that age where I wish I'd kept or took better care of my magazines. You're correct, I'm sure the XTC flexidisc was red.

@579enact That Nash The Slash track is a corker!

This was the first of an occasional series of flexi-discs given away with "Smash Hits". The second was a red coloured two-track (Skids: "The Olympian" and XTC "Ten Feet Tall"), the 3rd was yellow and had John Foxx "My Face", and the 4th (blue) was another 2-tracker: Nash The Slash "Swing Shift" and OMD "Pretending to see the Future (live)". I used to have them all but I lost this one, so thanks for uploading! PS, as I recall, the track plays only once, perhaps you have a rare/misprint copy?

I think I prefer the Rockpile version to this but it's certainly not my favourite song in the world! Thanks though, first time I've heard this version

Thanks. I'm tempted to say "wrong again" but can't because the "again" bit would not be right. This song appears twice on my copy, which is fortunate because the first track is unplayable. The brilliant XTC did have a flexidisc (Ten Feet Tall, I think) but not on this.
