Comment:

With the proliferation of Dexys mixes on this site (okay, two recently, from dimflash and Ms. Santa Cruz County), I thought I'd finally throw my hat into the ring. I like both of their mixes a lot, btw, but thought that mine was sufficiently different (despite there being a small catalog from which to pick) to warrant a posting. I've really come to like this band a lot over the last couple of years, and I hope that I one day acquire the b-sides from Searching for the Young Soul Rebels to make this definitive... (that's a hint for any of my trading partners out there).

Funny thing is - my whole adult life has been inspired by a love of Dexys Midnight Runners (just look at my 'personal website' link!) and yet I saw the title of this mix without even spotting the familiarity of the lyric! I have to say, given how obsessive and fussy I am on this subject, I do approve of this mix! It's a more representative 'best of' than either of the compilations which have been released - a nice mix of singles lesser-known album tracks. I'm sure Kevin Rowland would approve too since it gives greater prominence to the earlier and later material than the obvious "Come On Eileen"-era Celtic Soul. Let's just hope that the new material which Dexys are currently working on will be of the same quality!

Yeah, I recognized that line too. I loved those first two Dexys albums back in the day. Would like to get the BBC sessions too.

Wow, this is surprising. I've always loved "Too-Rye-Aye," and "Geno" is great too. Have you heard Kevin Rowland's "My Beauty" album of covers? It's very, very odd.
