Positive Touch - The Undertones
When I think of The Undertones my mind is drawn to the mixtapes I used to make back in the eighties, slowly dubbing vinyl to cassette and cutting and pasting covers from magazines. They were often themed and always seemed to have one Undertones song. If the theme was SEX it had to be Teenage Kicks; if FOOTBALL My Perfect Cousin or When Saturday Comes, FASHION had Male Models FOOD had Mars Bars & on and on. They were on the tapes that didn't have themes as well. They just wrote great songs that made you feel like jumping around and laughing. And if they could make me (Factory setting: "miserable") do that, they must be special.
