Back to the 80’s now with this excellent 12″ from The Godfathers from 1987. Hailed by many as the fore runners of the Britpop movement of the 90’s this was actually a minor US hit. Definitely on the blues/mod tip (check out the band image) and with a no nonsense approach. STB is pure rock n roll whilst “Miss That Girl” would make ZZ Top blush but with an unusual slide guitar riff. Pioneers!

Three more mixes appeared on the two US Promo 12″‘s
The Dance Mix is the most different of the mixes, big drum intro and additional guitar parts. Appearing on a promo with the same track on both sides.
The other promo had nearly identical mixes, same length but different titles , “Reagan” and “Thatcher” and only an anorak could tell the difference.
