For anyone who’s ever been curious about what a Ferry-fronted Crim might have sounded like, check out The Whoboys, mash artists who specialise in mangling samples of one band into another. I’m grateful to Steven Leak for sending me this little classic.
Click on the link, push through to their For Mash Get Smashed section, then scroll down to the mp3 Red Strand, download and as Steven suggested to me, crank up the volume and press play.
