Alltime favourite of mine. Such a great tune. Haunting guitar riff and silk vocals. I love it. One of many non-traditional sounding records played in the 90s that became massive.
It was definitely played at Cleethorpes w/ender around 95-ish. I didn't attend but my wife did, she heard it played there.
I used to hammer it here in Munich in the late 90s, first off the ABC mono 45. Later on I played the LP stereo version which I think sounds much better.
Paul Weller's take is not a patch on the original. Good production, from a rather general point of view. But when compared to the original, no chance.
