I originally had a comment here about why I'd originally uploaded the video with the intro intact so it could be presented in a historically accurate way and that I'd not wanted to lose any of the original song by having to chop a chunk of the video out. However modern ai developments have allowed an alternate option: The video at it's original length with Jimmy's appearance erased, I have uploaded it as a separate option for those who would like this version instead. kzitem.info/news/bejne/sqynuZV_hXhip6w

I had been dating a girl for about a month, when I took her to see Labi Siffre for her birthday November 13 1972. Labi has a special place in my heart as the girl went on to be my wife and the mother of my children.

Too many years ago I was astounded that Madness could write such a timeless song. And yes, I was wrong, and I have to tip my hat to Labi. That said, Madness’ version is nothing short of sublime.
