referencing Johnny Me (7", 45 RPM, Single) JAR-577

A masterpiece of macabre British pop. Leyton is oddly relaxed, almost stately - the backing singers sound like they were recorded via a seance - with a driving, spectral backing. Writer Geoff Goddard deserves wider recognition. Joe Meek changed popular music, period. All yours for about £1!
