PSB remixing a cover of a PSB song? Inception!

A la Sterling Void and it’s Alright and indeed Joe Smooth with the Style Councils Promised Land cover
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

The keyboard player is a massive PSB fan so hopefully it won’t be a novelty track. The Grauniad must be creaming itself at the idea

Apart from Jason Williamson's idiosyncratic and distinctive vocals, it's actually a very faithful cover version. Be interesting to see if PSB's remix does something different with it.

I wonder if it’ll be as good as East 17’s version?

I think it just has. I hope PSB can improve it.
I can't believe im going to say this but the East 17 version is better.

Looking forward to Neil presumably adding his vocals.
Woof.

I thought it couldn't get worse than East 17. And then I heard this version.

Not really reaching up to a threshold of originality. There are surely plenty of West End girls covers on YT. This doesn't really add anything, just a posing bloke trying to sound tough, omitting 'h', which I guess is some kind of schibbolet. And they stay pretty close to the originial West End girls'85 sounds. Looking forward to the PSB remix, preferably a dub mix or with Neil as guest vocalist.

Certainly adds to a rather mundane cover
