Steven Wells was one of the voices of my teenage years. A frustrating, infuriating, cajoling voice maybe, but also a fiercely intelligent one, never afraid to speak out against anything or anyone. Swells, as everyone called him, was openly gay in a world still not comfortable with homosexuality, and he never failed to let you know about it.

According to some sources it's the new single, others state it's just another track on tha ablum, but who really takes much notice of singles these days anyway? Ooh, back in my day, 73, shall I spend the extra on the 123 with the extra tracks, jumpers for goalposts etc. In any case, it's got a touch of the "Little Brother (Electric)" from the "Friends EP", which frankly is absolutely [...]
