CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:THE STYLE COUNCIL "how she threw it all away-ep" 1988

lead off track(ep title...), is a lovely soul based track with piccalo and plenty of horns...great stuff about a failed relationship
second track "in love for the first time"...is a breezy jazz tinged love song...
third track "long hot summer" s a remix of their 1983 hit
fourth track "i do like to b-side the a-side" is a stupid Mick Talbot instrumental
single failed to chart here

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:BILLY BRAGG & WET WET WET "she's leaving home" b/w "with a little help from my friends" 1988

this was a charity record that was only released in the UK...
various artists recorded tracks from the Sgt Peppers album, retitled it "sgt.pepper knew my father", and all the monies raised from the sale of this single and the album went to childrens causes in the UK...
"a" side of the single is Bragg's version of the Paul classic "shes leaving home"...its not bad,Bragg does ok, but its obviously not a patch on the original
"b" side is WWW's version of the Ringo sung classic...its not bad neither, but again, you cant beat the original of this one neither...
Wet,Wet,Wet were a scottish band, had a huge hit with "love is all around" around 1986/87...
when they were on Top Of The Pops performing this one, Macca happened to be appearing on the same show, Macca was being a bit of smart arse and mimmickd those guys singing the track with a scottish accent...Wet Wet Wet responded by singing "mull of kintyre" in a scottish accent...touche,Sir Paul!
single was not released here but did climb to #1 in the UK
