Nick Lowe is a musical genius. And yes, it was mentioned in passing when the NME reviewed Speak Like a Child about the similarities. And just how modish does Nick Lowe look here, in 1973!
I think BS were having a piss take on this recording - Ian Gomm is playing bass, Nick Lowe is on lead: a complete instrument reversal between the two of them. Great stuff. The vocals were live to their earlier pre recorded track. Brinsley himself is sat at the back on secondary keyboard, I missed that earlier on. Good band, nice songs. God bless em all. Quality
