I HEART 80s

Recorded in 1986 as part of the soundtrack to the Jonathan Demme movie, Something Wild, 1987's cover of the utterly stupendous Ever Fallen in Love, from the pen of Buzzcock's Pete Shelley, was a top ten hit for FYC.  After buying the band's first two singles, I had missed out on buying Suspicious Minds and Funny How Love Is.  The single was released in the March, I went out and bought it on 18 April 1987 as it hit its top position of number nine.

It's a slowed down version of the original classic, and although it (obviously) suffers by comparison it's still a great piece of work.  The video features Roland Gift as a projectionist during the screening of Something Wild.  Messrs Cox and Steele also appear, sharing popcorn, in the cinema audience.
