Hey, where's Tommy? We were just talking about this album a few days ago, and how it's best heard on vinyl. Such a classic, it's hard to imagine the 80s without it.
Half the instruments in this song were recorded, then played back backwards. There was a lot of interesting stuff on this album which, on the whole, had sort of a surreal carnival feel.
^That sure brings back memories of watching MTV when I was young.
Okay, so the audio is from The Peel Sessions and this early version was recorded in 1979. It's still an amazing song and had such a big influence on so many artists of the 80s I think it should be allowed.
