My friend Graham posted the photo pictured above last week; a lovely birthday present from Stefan of Denmark's toppermost of the popermost Northern Portrait apparently, and who could ask for anything finer? For their new single is a delight indeed, featuring lead cut ‘Life Returns To Normal’ from their Criminal Art Lovers set and a peachy cover of Sir Clifford Richard’s 1987 hit ‘Some People’. Now, as fabulous as ‘Life Returns...’ is, it is the Cliff tune that has had me enthralled the past few days. And why not? It’s a terrific song, and as these things are want to do, it makes one wonder just what other treasures are out there, cloaked in the unfashionable threads of the past.
Anyway, you can get your hands on the tunes courtesy of those very nice people at Matinee records. You can snag them on iTunes etc as well as on one of those lovely clear vinyl 7” single thingies. Be quick if you want the vinyl though as there are a mere 1000 individually numbered copies (which naturally come complete with a download code for the mp3s).
There's also a free download of ‘Life Returns to Normal’ on the Matinee site here. Result!
I just realised that I should have placed the record over the cover to show just how *ultra* clear that vinyl is...
