Another Saturday, another theme- today's theme is from Johnny Boy, a Liverpool duo from the early 00s best known for their epic 2004 single You Are The Generation Who Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve, a Spector- esque, 21st century girl group/ Mary Chain update taking aim at late stage capitalism.
In 2004 Johnny Boy (Andrew Davitt and Lorraine Hayward) released a CD single called Johnny Boy Theme and on the B-side was this dub version. Starting with a bell being struck and some echo- laden sampled dialogue, suddenly there's lots going on, drums, Lorraine's voice, then a breakdown to bassline and Lorraine, more reverb and FX, a swirl of noise and distant clanging guitar.

Love it. And another great photo; ever thought of compiling them all?
Thanks John. I have been thinking about putting together one of those books you can do yourself online actually. You may just have prompted me to get it sorted.
Not knowing anything beyond 'Shoes', this is greatly appreciated. Also made me go and find the non-dub version.
