I have been following Edwyn Collins's music since Orange Juice, so listening from the beginning, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I believe the reason he never became a "household name" was that he fell out with music companies in the eighties who wanted him to churn out commercial pop music. and he didn't.

This came out in '82

my favorite thing about old music videos is them not knowing what to have the drummer doing

Haven't heard this one in nearly forty years! Saw it a couple times on MTV back in the day, then tonight I stumble across it on my feed. Glad I clicked on it-brought back some childhood memories. Didn't realize that the lead singer had a big hit in the '90s with "A Girl Like You", one of my favourite '90s songs.

Earlier today “a girl like you” came on and was telling my co-worker how Edwyn suffered cerebral hemorrhaging. After work i scroll through youtube and this song shows up. Always listening, always watching.

I heard this song a couple months ago on a random playlist on Spotify and was thoroughly convinced it was a new band trying to sound Retro, Which is wildly popular these days. My mind is completely blown!! What an amazing song. I hope it catches on!!!!!!
