Well that's a relief then! After a night of intensive therapy at the Loanhead Miner's Club I've only posted two music vids and sent one inoffensive PM. :mrgreen:

I remember that. Didn't it go straight to number one or something?

I don't remember it being in the charts although I do remember it being championed by John Peel in the late seventies/early eighties.

I was wrong. Wiki says it got to number 2. I do remember there being a fuss, or something odd about it, but I can't remember what that was.

Anyway.......

I'm pretty sure the youtube version is a lot more polished and produced than the one I first heard JP playing. I could easily believe it had been produced in someone's front room with tape, scissors and glue.

Wooosh - right over the top of my head, I'm afraid. Is this a "kings new clothes" joke?
Sounds like a relative of Sparkey's magic piano self-abusing to me.
Must be the generation gap - do you guys' mums know you're on here?
