A reformed Roxy Music recorded this classic single in 1979 and originally came off the album Manifesto but in more of a rockier feel to the track. This was the third single to be lifted off the album and to give it more of a chance in the charts, they re-recorded the song with a more disco feel to the song and also released a 12'' version too. This was enough to push the single to number 4. As a result of the single being a hit, copies of the album and CD releases replaced the rockier album track with the single version, I guess to help sell more copies of the album, which itself managed to get to number 7 in 1979.
I always enjoy listening to Roxy Music's singles from mid seventies to their end in the early 80's. They always managed to fill the tracks full of amazing sounding instruments, but in turn you can hear them all and they all sound clear crisp and not muddled at all! Here's the single
