A double dose of nostalgia today. The 90s and Boghead.
Boghead was of course the ground where the mighty Sons of the Rock used to play before they moved to The Rock in 2000. At that point it was the oldest ground in Scotland that had been in continuous use.
This clip shows the new “Postage Box” stand, erected in 1980. This held 303 people rather than just 80 in the old one.
By the time of this song’s release, the third single from the This Is Hardcore LP, Pulp’s star was beginning to wane. It has all their signature marks, though.
This Del Amitri song was first released as a single in 1989 (making a stellar no 59 in the UK charts) but did a bit better on re-release the next year after the relative success of Nothing Ever Happens (which, criminally, did not reach the top ten.) That time it reached the stunning heights of no 43.
