DID YOU KNOW THAT JOHNNY MARR CO-WROTE THIS HIT?

I had completely forgotten that he had written and played on one of the few solo hits that Kirsty MacColl ever enjoyed, with it reaching #23 in the summer of 1991.  As was the practice in those days, the single was released in a number of formats, and the one I have in the collection features a superb alternative mix of the single, a previous Kirsty hit, a hilarious duet with Billy Bragg and the LP version of the single:-

mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison (urban mix)
mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - Days
mp3 : Kirsty MacColl & Billy Bragg - Darling Let's Have Another Baby
mp3 : Kirsty MacColl - Walking Down Madison (LP extended mix)

The duet above was written by Fred Berk who was a member of 70s London punk act Johnny Moped and the song originally appeared on the 1978 LP Cycledelic.  And thanks to the wonders of the internet:-

mp3 : Johnny Moped - Darling Let's Have Another Baby

Oh and here's some footage of Kirsty performing the hit single on Top of The Pops some 20 years ago:-



And finally, something which is exactly what it says on the tin:-

mp3 : Johnny Marr - Walking Down Madison (instrumental demo)

Happy Listening.
