Pete Wylie has a version of The Mighty Wah! back out on the road with a handful of gigs this month and bunch more in November. It is a blogging requirement by constitution and tradition that The Story Of The Blues is posted by music blogs at least once annually. I've posted it before and a very smart re-edit version which some of you enjoyed a lot. In a break with expectation instead I'm posting another 12" Wylie epic from 1984.
Come Back (The Story Of The Reds) and The Devil In Miss Jones (Combined and Extended)
Great choice, especially with the former track being something of a tribute to England's greatest football team. You know who I mean, right???
ReplyDeleteStrange- I thought he was Liverpool fan but you seem to be referring to United?

Ah, the old "what's Story Of The Blues really about" discussion. That's always worth a night of good drinking among good friends... Come Back is the response to Story's call - both wonderfully Lefty politcal and unapologetic. Mac may have been The Mouth of Liverpool, but Wylie was the conscience....
ReplyDelete(the story of)The Blues = The Tories I always assumed. Therefore The Reds = the left/Labour?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I got from both songs SA!
