The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 2)

A lovely bump by @Alphakrul1 earlier

Lovely memories of being squashed into a small bed in Hazel Park in the late 90s with a young wan and listening to this album on repeat till the birds started singing.

Iconic. 1997.

What a fucking time to be alive that was.

Nice story mate but you could have been listening to something better.

The best b-side remix of a single that I can think of.

Renegade Soundwave - Renegade Soundwave (Whistling Guitar Mix)

I love the Leftfield remix that was the the Xmas Dust up tape given away free with the NME IN December 1994.

Useless fact: Sky Sports used this as backing music on their coverage of the 2010/11 Ashes tour.

That actual mix?

Because there are other mixes that sound very like it.

My brother recorded that single (which the Leftfield remix may be on) on a blank tape around that time.

Havenā€™t a clue where he got the original from. He had his ways.

Frank Blackā€™s Teenager of the Year took up the rest of the tape.

The Sixpence none the richer song reminds me of this, which I only heard for the first time in years up to last week.

Free tapes with music mags or papers (NME, MM) were a fantastic way to find new music back in the day.

Select magazine had some absolute classics

George Michael - Fast Love

Mick Hucknall could write some decent songs.

Of all the things I didnt see happening today, you adding a Simply Red song to the smashing tunes was fairly high up.
