That's interesting Stewart, I would have guessed the song would have been a bit more rockier in a live environment. Don't get me wrong as I do thoroughly enjoy all of Steve Harley's output, but these 'lost' singles throughout the 1980s are the most forgotten of all Steve's work. They are crying out to be re-discovered again. I've certainly enjoyed tracking down the original vinyls to get hold of the b-sides - together they'd make a good compilation I think. Perhaps I'm bias as I've always loved the 80s sound, but it seems singles like I Can't Even Touch You, Ballerina, Irresistible etc are top-notch songs from that decade. The odds were against them as Steve was out-of-fashion and probably somewhat forgotten after his rise to fame in the 1970s, but he undoubtedly knew how to write some great, melodic material that appealed to the contemporary sound of the decadef. Mind you the songs all have the typical Steve Harley blueprints on them underneath the surface of the production etc.
Those were the days..you bought the single and the B side was more often that not a little gem.
