This is a single I've been hopeful of finding for a while, and I finally got my hands on a copy when I was out the other week with Ed from 17 Seconds browsing around a Glasgow charity store.I bought Regina on 12" when it was released back in 1989 as I thought that would be the way to get the most unusual version of the song - i.e. sung in Icelandic. What I wasn't aware of until about five years later when I heard the song played in a pub I was sitting in was that the double-pack 7" had two other versions under the title Propeller vs Jet. I was kicking myself thinking that my chance to ever own something that wouldn't have sounded out of place on the solo stuff Bjork was releasing had gone forever.
But being given a USB turntable got me collecting vinyl again after the best part of 15 years....and as I said earlier, I picked it up in the most unexpected of places.
And so, for the first time in TVV history, here's four versions of the same songs in the one sitting. I'll apologise if you really don't like lobster......
mp3 : The Sugarcubes - Regina
mp3 : The Sugarcubes - Regina (Icelandic vocal)
mp3 : The Sugarcubes - Regina (Propeller vs Jet Part 1)
mp3 : The Sugarcubes - Regina (Propeller vs Jet Part 2)
Happy Listening.

I always thought they were singing...
"I really don't like Roxette"
Which to me makes perfect sense because who does/did like the hideous Swedish power pop fluff merchants?
