This is an extraordinary record. One of the strangest singles ever to hit the Top 10 in the UK which it did in 1982 one of the very best years for Pop Music there's been. Incredibly commercial on one level but quite otherworldly and strange at the same time. It seems to be about the tipping point of hysteria brought out by massive chemical indulgence. I remember it appropriately from pretty much my first hormonal, teenage party. The Associates made many other exceptional records but this was their blinding moment.
