This track is now available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections Volume Three - Yes, his third year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.

A right little toe-tapper and no mistake. Boppin’ Bobby and the gang cut the rug and do the frug with this cracking dance number. Those fast running lines from Under Heavy Manners and which foreshadow Frame By Frame provide a direct injection of atypical adrenalin which fans love so much. At around 2.40 Robert counts the team in again and this time we are treated to clipped chords that evoke images of Television, Talking Heads and hot sticky nights at CBGBs. You know, if String Theory is right, there’s an alternative universe where the League of Gentlemen are top of the charts!

Can't get enough
I love all three variations. Wish they had developed the idea more, to include it on the live show or the album, but we do have it here, so it's okay!!

Zoinks !
Wow...tons of ideas crammed in here ! This could have easily made it into the setlist.  I could hear all sorts of ways to piece these fragments into a coherent piece of music.  Certainly alternating between that "Zero of the Signified" section and the chordal accompaniment would have done well, with a section allowing Barry Andrews keyboards some room to play would have been really excellent. Man...what a great band they were! Such a pity it was so short lived.

For the first time, I'm saying 6 stars
I always loved The League of Gentlemen, now I want to marry it. I waited for our date in San Francisco but it never came. Thirty years on this fantastic recording deepens the wound.

Yeeeehaw!
The very definition of stonking.
