I dj'ed at a quite cool alternative club and used to regularly play tracks off this album, Mary Mary & Marc Almond's contributions were particular favourites. A room full of Goths, Punks, Crusties & Indie kids dancing to A boy named Sue was a joyous sight week in, week out. Thanks for this, going to have to search for the cd issue of this now.......Stevohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198786824988319350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-17641763017135456832014-03-26T21:08:17.802-05:002014-03-26T21:08:17.802-05:00Thanks much!

I remember some clown complaining that Sally Timms had the temerity to do her song totally different to Cash's version.<br /><br />Even if you prefer the original the fact that the song can be done differently is proof of how good the song is.BarrieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209147176466642229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-21629342079623886422013-03-27T11:21:37.444-05:002013-03-27T11:21:37.444-05:00hey.
