Colourbox POLL

guilty confession: when I was dancing to "you keep me hangin on" in clubs, I thought it was a Colourbox original

Yeah I'm surprised how well they did with that one, actually. That's kindof a hard song to really do well, I think.

voted The Moon Is Blue, but I have the 12" in my head and can't remember if it's any different from the LP version

sleepwalker best album intro ever. just give 'em whiskey still holds up well cuz everyone will always love prisoner samples. vocal version of whiskey on the EP not as great for some reason. say you still has the most glorious harmonies. moon is blue so beautiful. inside informer quirky in a way that i could never hang with totally, but still the vocals so good. arena is the sleeper here. though i might prefer the EP version. you keep me hangin' on might be my LEAST fave thing on one of my favorite albums. anyway, i can't choose. and if the mini-lp were included in this poll, i would have to rep for the amazing one two punch of edit the dragon/hipnition. edit the dragon inspires me to this day. and hipnition is beyond cool. those two tracks would make my top ten colourbox tracks list. along with baby i love you so, tarantula, breakdown, world cup theme, looks like we're shy one horse, just give 'em whiskey, say you, and arena.

say you : shiver up spine track.

cracking album.

"say you" is great. i remember also loving "arena" at the time. haven't listened to this in years...

See, the CD has bonus tracks of "world cup" and "Baby I love you so" plus b-sides.

Amirite that if those had been in this poll, none of the other tracks would get a look in?

my cd copy doesn't have World Cup ?

ah, it's the other one called "Colourbox" I'm thinking of.

World Cup Theme is the greatest piece of music ever committed by humans, it would be unfair in any poll

and yet, I'd stil vote: Dmm t dm dmm dmmmm, dmm t dmm dt t dmmdm.

World Cup Theme is the greatest piece of music ever committed by humans

thread idea: opinions you held at 13 that turned out to be true

Doesn't matter what they're sayin', they're only tryin' to break you.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

impossible

impressive number of votes

would have gone edit the dragon

Woah, yeah! That's more votes than I might have expected! Well done ILM!

Sleepwalker is lovely but slight, shame it didn't get any votes. Sleepwalker/Whiskey/Say You/Moon is Blue is about as good an opening sequence as any.

Sleepwalker/Whiskey/Say You/Moon is Blue is about as good an opening sequence as any.

absolutely.

whatever became of lorita ?

I foolishly passed on the complete Colourbox box set that came out in 2012. And these days, physical print runs are tiny so if you snooze, you lose.

Rectified that mistake today and I absolutely adore this package, the postcards with each 12" cover, the 4 discs collecting every version, it's brilliant. Cost a bundle but it's only money.
