That’s a fantastic tune. An ‘alternative’ version of Duel. It’s in the ‘B’ side of the 12” single that I have.

What a great album that is. My brother had it when we were young but his copy seems to have disappeared in the ether. Went and bought myself a copy recently. What a band they were. Wish I’d been old enough to see them play live.

Today we went to @peacockandtheworm.bsky.social to see the Jamie Reid ‘Eternal Ecstacy’ exhibition. Worthwhile visit and very impressed with the knowledgable chap giving us the lowdown on Jamie’s connection with the Peacock printmaker.

Today’s retro Dons press cutting is an absolute classic showing the ‘Ultras Aberdeen’ of the day at the joint station heading for a cup final or something. “Aberdeen - cha cha cha”. Wild days..!!

Absolutely loved Simple Minds in this period. Looking back now, though, I feel they peaked before this time. I’ve still got this single in 12” format, though.

It had to be done. Extremely sad news today in the music world so #nowplaying is the Stone Roses with their eponymous debut album. “I wanna be adored”.

Today from my teenage collection of #pinbadges is another political one - ‘I didn’t vote Tory’. Not sure I was even old enough to vote when I had this, but the sentiment still stands even all these years later.

Further to a previous post, today’s retro Dons press cutting is a Daily Record article about Joe Harper breaking the Aberdeen goal scoring record. Probably his forever, methinks.

Two completely contrasting gigs at the weekend. Friday at the Armadillo was ABC with the Lexicon Orchestra and Saturday was Hue & Cry at the Lemon Tree. Both fantastic gigs for different reasons. The orchestra backing for ABC was outstanding and the intimacy of Hue & Cry was brilliant.

Saw them in Glasgow last night. Great show. The backing of the orchestra was outstanding. Enjoy 👍

What a cover version this is, one of my absolute favourites. I’ve still got the 12” version I bought when it came out.

Same..!! I think you were sitting just along from us. I hollered your name as you went for a pint/pee at the interval, but you obviously never heard me. What a tremendous show, eh ?

It’s a great album. I bought the 7” box set version which probably means I don’t play it as much as I should, TBH.

What a great double’A’ side that is. I really need to take the time to play my singles a lot more. Here’s my copy.
