I think that since most of it is in mono this throws a lot of people as they're not used to it on a modern recording.

It's pretty good. Not a classic, but an interesting oddity in their back catalogue.

It appeared on a compilation that also included Suede's By The Sea. So almost.

Quite an incredible comp, that one. They called it 'Glorious' and then included 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now', 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad', 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Happy When It Rains'.

Sony 4 life!

Because at the time it was heralded as sounding quite Beach Boys-like. I love the song, and not in a Gutless way either!

I really like the Avalanches remix... was listening to the remix cd in the car the other day,and that one really stood out.It's kind of changed it to a northern soul song...
