Tanz Der Youth - I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry

Another good single and another band incarnation from 'Brian James'. When I first bought this, I played it once, and thought that both sides were average, and just left it in a box of records. Then about a year later I was sorting out my record collection (I used to do this a lot, file by band name, then by label or by genre - I know very sad), and I played it again, and ever since then I have continued to play it.

Brian James formed 'Tanz der Youth' when he left 'The Damned' and this is the one and only single that was released (there was also a three track John peel session which I don't have - anyone out there got it?).

Some etching trivia on both sides of this one: The a-side has "Der Youthful Kut" and the b-side has "Max Wall Is the man" (I don't know what the second etching means, but for those of you who don't know, Max Wall was a comedian who used to wear black tights and big boots and do funny walks - I saw him in his later years supporting 'Ian Dury' and he was brilliant, so I agree).

Tanz Der Youth - John Peel Session 02/08/1978

I've had a number of requests for this excellent John Peel session. I can't remember who posted this originally, and if they remind me, then I will happily give them the due credit. The cover has the wrong date, but hey I'm sure we can live with that.

As you all know Tanz Der Youth were formed by Brian James following his departure from the Damned. Four excellent tracks including versions of the a and b side of his debut single "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry" and "Delay" respectively which you can still get here.
