On red vinyl too! Wahoo!
It rather sums up the infectious fun to be had here.
Weirdly, I'm not actually a huge fan of the band overall and I'm not sure why.
In Tilbrook and Difford we had the eighties Lennon and McCartney; the musicianship was uniformly excellent: it was FUN (Jools Holland on keys was hilarious!) and the very Englishness of the band made the band cool for cats.
However, this is the only song of theirs that I own on vinyl. But wow - what a great song!
The word play is terrific - although I have no idea what's going on really aside from its picaresque Butlins holiday camp scenario - it sounds great!
But what the heck fire is 'And I feel like William Tell, Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet' all about? He feels like William Tell AND Maid Marian??????
Hidden gem: Not in this case - the B side doesn't move me.
