Song of the day (Australia) – 148: The Cannanes

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The debut Cannanes single was the third record that David Nichols brought across to my house in Willesden Green that fateful day in 1985.

I’m not saying that I liked it… but I made it Single Of The Week in the NME, and then formed a record label (Calculus) with my future house-mate Jamie to try and get it a release in the UK. (The distribution company foundered before we could release it, owing us a tidy sum of money – made even tidier by the fact we were both on the dole. Before that happened, we released the debut Dog-Faced Hermans LP and reissued their first single, and put out a seven-inch by The Fizzbombs. Fine times, mostly spent on a coach up to Scotland.)

I don’t have the link to the song I want (which I actually covered several years back with guitarist Danya for a tribute album that never appeared), dating from 1985, duh – so I thought I’d link to this instead. I’m sure you can understand why. I guess I could probably repost the cover and the original if anyone shows the remotest amount of interest.
