If you get a chance to pass by "youtube", there is a post there by "cowbannas", seriously, of the afore mentioned.

The younger amongst us frequently ask about Roxy on T.O.P.T.performing this.

This is a carbon copy, and probably better. As soon as you see the skin on the front of Paul's bass drum, you can tell what's coming.

Probably the most animated you will ever see them, until I get my hands on the tape of The Empire Pool '75.

Well, was that not lovely or what? The man that makes it is Edwin Jobson.

This is the Musikladen footage with the studio version overdubbed, I am looking forward to seeing the long lost Top Of The Pops footage.

I was only 8 when it was first broadcast. It was probalbly on the telly with me in the corner playing with my lego in my 6 Million Dollare Man pyjamas

Saw it first time around. I was minus 12 years old. I, too, really really want to see it again :D

I love seeing this footage because even though it's synced, you get to see who is creating what sound and how. I had no idea that the wonderful otherworldly bits were Jobson's violin, TBH.

Like most everything else they did, this song still sounds as great to me as when I was 14, a perfect embodiment of what I love about their sound - glamorous, seductive, menacing, avant-garde and catchy all at once. An all-time great single. Just perfect.
