May 28, 200817 yr not too bad a chart but a fair few rubbishy songs in there. That Beat song was released to promote a best of album. It had originally appeared on their 1980 debut album and was something of a cash-in. Phil Fearon is from Kensal Rise in London NW10!
May 28, 200817 yr Author Phil Fearon is from Kensal Rise in London NW10! oh yeah... i stand corrected! i guess then his name is deliberate ! :)

May 28, 200817 yr Author some all-time classics in there - LOVED Fun Boy Three's better-than-the-original 'Our Lips Are Sealed', and Blancmange's 'Blind Vision' was their finest hour IMO. i agree, unusually this cover was better then the original (which was good anyway). its not often a cover superceeds the original but this was one example.
