No, but it's a great story.
@filmandmusic posted it ages ago - can't remember which thread. I looked at it, didn't have a clue what it was but listened to it anyway. My taste in music is often quite different to f&m but he posts interesting stuff. So I listened to it and my head exploded. I KNOW THIS SONG was the instant thought. I LOVE THIS SONG was the second thought.
Years ago, as a punk in London, we knew some German punk bands. I can't remember exactly how this went but I think one of them must have had a mixtape that we heard, this song was on it, I instantly loved it and they must have done a copy for me. I do know I didn't have it on vinyl. It wasn't on UK radio. I definitely didn't hear it on John Peel. So that's the only explanation I can come up with. That cassette tape is long gone, years pass and I completely forgot all about the song. Until f&m posted it. Isn't that amazing? I love this song so much. I was so happy to be reunited with it. I've listened to it loads since it went up on the board.
