One of the great things about the internet is how it allows you to read, see or hear things you might not otherwise.
As I've previously posted, I love the Beat. Through youtube, I've managed to hear a couple of their tunes I've found hard to track down on albums and compilation CDs, though one can be picked up on the US version of the What Is Beat? best-of. I think both are brilliant, so check them out if you have time.

These are the a and b-side of a single released in 1981, which failed to get to the UK top 40. While the band had passed their commercial peak in this country, it still staggers me how it didn't do better. A guess would be the title putting off radio. In any case, it made my day to finally get my ears round both songs.
