Best Remote Control

But what can you do - release your debut album from live versions?

Sham 69 'Tell Us The Truth1?

[Marky Dread]

Vanilla Tapes...and it's not even close. Much richer arrangement, more mature vocal take...fully three-dimensional whereas the original was not exactly one of s/t's better recorded efforts (live it killed pretty much from Day 1). As stratospheric an improvement over the original as Cap Radio 2 if they'd run with it and done a formal take.

For the record, just realized Rattie agrees with me about Joe’s dopey 77 vocals.

Hang on, Mick sings it. Do you mean those inaudible backing vocals?

Just had another listen to this song tonight, it is still utterly pointless.

"Press a button! Activate!"

That's a great lyric. What don't you like about it? Fits perfectly with the being told what to do aspect of the song and the way we are governed to the point of losing autonomy.

Lyric is fine. Just Joe's dopey delivery.

When you talk about "delivery " do you mean the sound of Joe's voice or the fact that he sounds dopey as in thick?

Guttersnipe Joe is one of rock's greatest fictional characters.

That fake tough "punk" snarl just doesn't do it for me. Not that Joe is dumb, just the delivery is ridiculous. Using the term dopey pretty loosely.

Hoy is so dang Hoy about this.

Okay gotcha. That punk snarl just goes with the territory for me. Joe already had a great voice long before punk.
