Colin was a down to earth fella, who had the knack of writing amazing songs. Liverpool was proud of you and your loss hit the city hard. Them awesome tunes will live on forever and this was one of the hidden gems RIP.

Absolutely amazing. One of the standout tracks of the 80's, by a mile.

Always I liked very of this singer and like asking something, case can help me. I don't talk English and don't find the musics letters "Hey Presto", "Liquid Dream" and "Stephen" in the sites and neither the CD or vinyl in stores specialized in my country. Would it be possible to supply me these letters? It would stay very thankful, it means a lot for me.

Yeah, I know right ? They were awesome. I did see them in Swansea back then, after hearing this song, and several session tracks on Radio 1 (David Jensen/John Peel ) They were support for Orange Juice, but I went to see Black tbh.....

@@allysoncthomas You saw their concert at that time, didn't you? I really envy you! I searched for their footage at that time, but I can't find it anywhere. Not even 87 years. There is audio from the concert, but no video. sad. I wanted to see the old Colin. The oldest footage I saw was a promotion for Ugly Man "wonderful life" in 1986. There was a young and cute Colin before the big break.

Hey Presto... you set it all backwards'. I think this track refers to his first marriage, which did'nt go so well like a magic trick going wrong ie; his marriage. IMHO Colin had that rare gift of being able to lyricise his battles into great pathos!!
