Didn't B&S open a gig with it once?

Greg Wilson has a recently released re-edit of it on Credit to the Edit.

there is a whole mr bloe alb, i think sanctuary reissued it fairly recently, complete w/ horrible dated alan aldrigde air-brush cov. surprise the two (identikit as gareth says) singles are the stand-out tracks. amazingly the main mr bloe man did not write 'groovin' with'.

wasn't it morrissey who opened w/ groovin'... but maybe B+S have too?

yeas Morrissey opened his gig at Bournemouth international centre with it in 1991, then in 2002 (iirc) B&S opened their first Barrowlands gig with it. Has to be one of my favourite songs of all time, pure joyous fun. Curried soul is pretty good too, I didn't know about the album, I'll be digging that out tomorrow.
