Having got to #1 with the Norman Cook remix of Brimful Of Asha (as featured previously on this very blog), Cornershop finally had a profile after five years of obscurity.If there was any justice in the world, then this, one of a number of outstanding tracks from the LP When I Was Born For The 7th Time, would have also crashed high into the charts.
Sadly, Sleep On The Left Side stalled at #23, which in my books is enough to keep the band away from those that are listed as 'one-hit wonders', but proof that the record-buying public would only embrace the band's unique mix of indie, dance and Asian music if someone famous like Fatboy Slim put their name to it.
The single is an edited down version of the original track that was on the LP, but it also came with other innovative and wonderful mixes:-
mp3 : Cornershop - Sleep On The Left Side (Radio Edit)
mp3 : Cornershop - Sleep On The Left Side (Ashley Beedle's Right Hand Radio Edit)
mp3 : Cornershop - Sleep On The Left Side (Les Rythmes Digitales' Living By Numbers Mix)
mp3 : Cornershop - Sleep On The Left Side (Ashley Beedle's Right Hand Extended Mix)
New Order fans everywhere will surely adore the LRD mix.......
Happy Listening.

A pedant writes: It is of course Brimful Of Asha, since it is about Bollywood soundtrack legend Asha Bhosle, not Brimful Of Asher, since it is not about Titian-haired cake baking ex-Macca squeeze Jane Asher. Sadly.
I thought Asha is an earthenware pot used for cooking - hence A Brimful of Asha....but there you go....
A further pedant writes. davy h is confused. It was about Asher D from garagists So Solid Crew. Fancy thinking it was about cakestress Jane Asher. Pish.
Can we start on 'Pass The Dutchie' in a minute?
only if it's round the left side we can....
The author hangs his head in shame at schoolboy error, feeling just like a goalkeeper at the World Cup.
Ouch.
