Commentary:

This was originally recorded by Ed Blaney’s band Trigger Happy in 1996

On the original version by Trigger Happy, the musicians that played on it were

Tim Scott -Phil Glaythorne – Guitars
Ed Blaney – Vocals
Jim Watts- Bass
Dave Milner – Drums

This was produced by Rex Sargeant.

Its initial release (on a Fall disc) is on one of the group’s rarest records, a 7″ given away to subscribers to the Flitwick Records mailing list. It is an acoustic singalong. Ed Blaney advises that this track was intended to be the b-side of the single.

It should be noted that the song does not appear on the EP of the same name released on 28 February 2005 (Hip Priest/Voiceprint HIPP005CD) It was the intention to include it and this would have been the 1 take version which was a live rehearsal recorded in Wentworth Avenue, Salford by Mark and Ed Blaney, it was left off the voiceprint CD purely by mistake.

A remixed version of the song by Ed Blaney was released on Furball records on 24th May 2011 – featuring Simon “Ding” Archer on bass and Tracy James on Trumpet.
