My upload! Finally get to hear it "on the air." Looks like Bill has this spicy tune in the Christmas season rotation due to the first line in the lyrics. Oh well, once a year will have to do... I'm with Gregorama on this, more Joe PLEASE!
The story behind Joe Jackson's Big World album is fascinating. He rented a theatre in NYC for a week and recorded each performance to create a "live" album without the sounds of the audience. He asked the crowd to please not shout or whistle during performances and to wait for a few seconds before applauding. The resulting album is a true tour de force... strong songwriting and truly flawless musicianship. I had the pleasure of seeing him in Montreal on this tour. Still a bright memory.
Great to hear something here from this disk, altho this isn't one of the stronger cuts. Still, almost anything by JJ rates at least a 6 or 7 in my book.
Great album. Would like to hear a lot more Joe here, but mine's all on vinyl or cassette...
