The Days Of Pearly Spencer

[tiggerblue10]

This song was mentioned on Twitter today so had a listen and the tune brought back memories.

I know the David McWilliams and Marc Almond versions but I'm sure there is another version or a very similar sounding tune with female backing singers.

Anyone any idea or have I imagined it?

Ahh, a hark back to the days when songs were not just songs, they were mini soap operas, all drama and hysteria, and that's something modern pop is missing.

For drama and hysteria, this is hard to beat -

Pearly Spencer could beat Eloise with one hand tied behind his back

Yes, Mamy, that's why the tune rang a bell when I heard it.

I love Eloise, but I only ever knew the version by The Damned.

And it was the Hot Gossip version I remember as a kid ;o)
