I remember this being on TOTP very well. Started a new job a week or so before at John Lewis in Bristol. It was my fist Thursday evening 'late opening' shift so made sure I wandered over to the TV department and switched the display telly's over to BBC1 so I could watch it. Thanks for finding and sharing this!

Hi mate, me again. Having another nostalgia night (allowed 2 a year, the better half is away with her sister). When (why) did us 17/18 year old lads, from that era bow down to "Soaps and Slippers"?? Just played News at 10 by The Vapors and I don't want to cry by The Keys. Check them out and join.... 1981 again, ll.

Your'e absolutley right, just checked it does play at 33rpm, something i've completely forgot about, lol, the age thing is catching up with me ha ha ;)

I think we both right and wrong. I haven't got it on an EP, but it is a 7" single that plays at 33rpm Its Chrysalis CHS2510. The a side is 'Just Fade Away' and the b side is 'Go For It' and 'Doesn't Make It Alright (live)'. It definitely plays at 33rpm not 45rpm though.

I think you are confusing it with the 'Listen' ep (aka £1.10 or less e.p.) which was released in early 82'. This track played at 45 rpm and had an edited version of the album instrumental 'Go For It' and a live version of 'Doesn't Make It Alright' on the flip-side.

Wow. Thanks for posting, never knew this made it on to TOTP.. I seem to remember buying it on a 7" EP, which played at 33rpm. Ring any bells with anybody, or am I going gaga in my mid 40's? lol.

primate1234

It didnt make the top 40 though unfortunately..I thought it was gonna shoot up the charts but sank without trace..Silver Lining did even worse....both still are brilliant songs and should have been hits!

I never realised this made it high enough in the charts for a play on totp. Still one of their best tracks for me . Cheers
