Another Version of Me

Mummy’s Boy
Mark explains that "Mummy's Boy" was written while he was still at school. "It was a chance remark by one of my teachers who told me he still lived at home with his parents. That set me thinking—in fact, I found it quite shocking.

You’ll Lose A Good Thing
Suggs: A beautiful Barbara Lynn track, which I only knew from an extremely battered reggae 45 by a girl known only as Audrey, on the Down Town label. In fact it was in such bad condition that bits were inaudible and we had to interpret an ...
