Right? They're designed to be danced to, not just sat and listened to.

Um, interesting as well, it's, it's, uh, she's got Shep Pettibone and-

It's a-

...

[laughs]

Shep.

Shep Pettibone.

Um, but he had a real, like, glossy sheen and real pristine-

what is after after you like after having like you know the sex pistols and like the clash and all this stuff but all of a sudden there's always electronic stuff and I was like this is like future music this is music is space music it was so no idea what it was and it used to I think it kind of the journey really started from there and mum would pick me up sort of from sports or something on a Saturday and we'd go do record shopping you know down Rundle Street and then because my stepdad was one of the founding members of what was 5 Triple M now called 3D Radio.

My mum dutifully had a radio show on Saturday afternoons and so she'd pick me up from school and we'd go a bit of a record shop and then she'd go in and do her radio show and I'd be left alone in the music library at Triple M and I was, I must have been sort of 10, 11 or something around that stage and then finding 12 inches and like all those you know Arthur Baker and Shep Pettibone and you know Tom Walton all these names started jumping out to me and um it really kind of just kind of started from there and then you know when the first things of like rap and hip-hop started appearing on Countdown you know things like Malcolm McLaren and Rocksteady Crew and all that sort of stuff and I remember mum saying this is really important youth culture you need to pay attention to this stuff and you know she's She was very responsible for me sort of getting into it.

And I think sort of the first time I saw Scratching, like I would have been Herbie Hancock rocker, you know, and I was pretty much like, that's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to work out what to do and I'm going to do that.

That's the fresh thing about it.

She's taking all of these things, the Debbie Harry, the downtown rap, the Jellybean, the Shep Pettibone of it all, the Lou Reed, the, The Current, and it's, like, all churned together, and then comes out in this beautiful jam that operates in, like, three sections.

I mean, when that dun, dun, dun, dun kicks in, you're like, "What?"

Yeah.

to me it's just a awesome song and it really should be my number one but my number one's grandfathered in because i love it just as much but This song is just so, so good.

And, yeah, a bunch more shit about this single remix by the legendary producer Shep Pettibone.

Oh, Shep Pettibone, yeah.

Yeah, later worked with Madonna and stuff, right?

you.

So Shep Pettibone's master mix of Love Comes Quickly there.

Incredible to have Shep Pettibone on this collection and working with Pet Shop Boys.

What an iconic producer he is.

And I just love how he works with Pet Shop Boys sound.
