During my once a decade room clean up yesterday, I discovered an unopened cassette tape of the ?Kick On? promotional song that was made for the club in 1991 ? I had forgotten just how awful that song was!
If anyone?s forgotten the song (or has had psychiatric help to obliterate it from memory), here's a reminder. It?s sung by Glenn Shorrock and a (very) ?ocker? bloke offers a spoken refrain. There is also an alternative version of the song on the tape, where the refrain mentions QBE.
The first verse starts with the line?
Here we come, we?re Bucky?s boys?
If anyone wants to hear this tragic piece in its entirety, I?ve ripped some copies onto my computer; as (42Kbs) Windows Media files (about 1.2MB) or (128Kbs) MP3 files (about 3.1 MB) I can send them as email attachments to anyone who wants a copy. Contact me by PM, let me know which of the versions you want (Original or QBE) and what format you want WMP or MP3. Note: Some email programs (like the free version of hotmail) will not accept attachments over 1 MB.
If any Swans historians would like a higher quality version for their records, contact me by PM and I?ll send them a CD with both versions and a copy of the tape?s original cover artwork. This service is offered to genuine Swans historians/archivists only ? a music lover certainly wouldn?t be interested in a permanent, high quality version of this song. It?s a shocker.
