This is 'Jamie Wednesdays' first of their two releases, both on the 'Pink Records' label. This one was released in 1985 but neither of them sold particularly well, and the band had split up by 1987. But bigger things were to come with James Morrison and Leslie Carter going on to form 'Carter USM' and James and Leslie became Jim Bob and Fruit Bat respectively. I saw Jamie Wednesday at the Mean Fiddler 
back in 83-84 and they did have a reasonable following but I guess it was mainly local, which would explain why the singles did not do so well.Jamie Wednesday can also claim to have named the band 'Pop Will Eat It's Self' (if you wanna hear some of their stuff check out one of Longy's latest posting here) where in an interview with the NME Jim Bob said "pop music is ever-recycling its ideas, and that eventually pop will eat its self"
The other trivia point related to this single is their cover of the children's TV program soundtrack 'White Horses'. I used to hate this program, it was black and white (showing my age now), originally from Yugoslavia but dubbed in English, about some young girl living with her uncle and horses or something. I didn't like the soundtrack either (which you can hear here) until I heard Jamie Wednesdays version.
So check it out and leave a comment.
