January 10, 20169 yr Wow! Absolutely fantastic. Imagine having the only cut of that. Dance floor viagra at it's best. Popcorn, what a guy.
January 10, 20169 yr Excellent release always liked the Instrumental (even if the editing on the grapevine album was shocking) & can't believe this vocal was not played with the other Betty Boo tracks?
January 11, 20169 yr Great track and dare I say it, a far better vocal than the other two Betty Boo tracks. I wonder how many more gems there are still to be unearthed? Has a vocal to the Innocent Bystanders Frantic Escape ever appeared? Paul
January 13, 20169 yr Another gem from the Master Popcorn, great track and certainly right up there with all her other gems. So much great unissued stuff being released at the moment; past 6 months or so; still great to hear and own these gems.

The two Grapevine tracks leave a little to be desired in terms of what could have been. This track shows they could have been much better with a stronger vocal. I like this track but the only (slight) downside (imo) is that the lyric content gives it a slight novelty value that a different lyric would have avoided. Still pretty good though and very worthy of release.
January 13, 20169 yr My copy arrived this morning - both sides are nice and clear sounding, love it! it's archetypal Popcorn (with a capital P). For the price of three pints you get some proper northern in your box!

When I first heard it in the mid 80s I couldn't believe that it was big at Wigan. It just sounds like a very rough demo to me with no polish whatsoever.
January 15, 20169 yr ive always loved the instrumental...lets do the duck,,,,,those grapevine lps,,,all 3 fabulous

January 15, 20169 yr I have to say I hate the vocal to 'My Man Flint', it's not her voice, she has a great voice, its the lyrics and the way her vocal is set to the music, I hated it immediately...... the Instrumental however is brilliant...
