OK - this is my first request - my chum Steve over at the Domino Rally emailed me yesterday saying he had a hankering to hear this track and did I have it?
Boy do I have it. I first heard this track at John Pyle's house Christmas 1987 on Peel's Festive 50 of that year, a magical time where we were discovering all sorts of crazy music existed. It made number 47 sandwiched between MARRS "Pump Up The Volume" and The Gun Club's "Breaking Hands".
I can't think what else to say about it - stupidly catchy riff and stupidly catchy spoken word chorus bit.
Colorblind James Experience - Considering A Move To Memphis
Interestingly this is one of 13 tracks in my library that contain the word "Memphis". Can you guess what they are?
Never considered a move there myself but Al Green's church & Gracelands make it sound a good trip. One day...

yay, frankie - you da man, etc. still sounds great to me... thanks a lot!
go to memphis sweetie - gracelands is more fantastic than you'd ever imagine, especially being suurounded by the fattest,sweetest ,wierdest yanks, and the record shops are incredible - i came back just, if i really huffed and puffed, able to carry bags full of the choicest soul and jazz that anyone could wish for . sun studios is brilliant too...
I can't believe you're talking about a band that a) I've heard of b) i like and c) actually own records by! Well, cassettes, but still - are you going SOFT or what? SELLOUT!
So, can we learn up "Ride Board" next week then?
I am a fan of The Colorblind James Experience band. I have got tape recording of the first record (self-titled, from 1987). It is a copy of copy… The cassette is 15 years old!!!
Please someone help me to get CD record!

Colorblind James Experience are awesome, one of the best recordings ever made.
Tis indeed a lovely tune - have you heard the Thriftshop XL bootleg, which mashes it with MIA's 'Bucky Done Gun'?

Thanks for writing this.
What's happened to the file? If you can repost it I'd be ever so grateful.
