Standing in a nightclub in the 80s.This absolute goddess tells me I look like Edwyn Collins in this video.Very embarrassed but secretly over thr moon.Her name was Maria Wolstenholme,she was English,Im Irish,we met in Dublin.We lost touch and it was my fault.Ships that pass and all that.Good times brilliant song
I have a very different memory of this song. Me and my mates would go out driving about listening to this song when (sad mad) Don decided to climb out the window and hang on to the roof. He was a total wanker tbh and he wasn't mates with anyone for very long.
Absolutely, thanks to all the replies adding more great Scottish bands to the list. The Associates were unique, some dark sounds and Billys voice was haunting. That keyboard sound on party fears 2 is just beautiful
This is the first ever record featuring the Roland TB-303 (the bass synthesiser that became a foundation for acid house music) to enter the UK charts. Feel free to use this information to impress your friends and others, who are into music.
This still sounds great decades later. The TB 303 bass was an inspired choice that kicked off a massive trend and the homage to Buzzcocks' Boredom was just so classy.
Saw them at the Royal Court in LIverpool in about 1984. There was a national strike and no transport. I was a student in Liverpool and walked there- must have been less that 100 in the audience but they still played.
Played 80"s to younger asian friend recently. He loved it. His words, "real music." Forgot this one, found today, 2024 Great composition with the acid synth, which is why i liked it and b-line. Ah...good times.
Myself and my best friend mark were both painters and decoraters at the time this song came so you can imagine the crack we had at our customers homes stripping wallpaper off the walls and singing RIP it up and start again . Just brilliant.
Earlier today “a girl like you” came on and was telling my co-worker how Edwyn suffered cerebral hemorrhaging. After work i scroll through youtube and this song shows up. Always listening, always watching.
There's a new year coming up...wish 'radio' would get its act together and RIP it up and play majestic songs like this...each day,not too muck to ask.😊
Haven't heard this one in nearly forty years! Saw it a couple times on MTV back in the day, then tonight I stumble across it on my feed. Glad I clicked on it-brought back some childhood memories. Didn't realize that the lead singer had a big hit in the '90s with "A Girl Like You", one of my favourite '90s songs.
I have been following Edwyn Collins's music since Orange Juice, so listening from the beginning, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I believe the reason he never became a "household name" was that he fell out with music companies in the eighties who wanted him to churn out commercial pop music. and he didn't.
I heard this song a couple months ago on a random playlist on Spotify and was thoroughly convinced it was a new band trying to sound Retro, Which is wildly popular these days. My mind is completely blown!! What an amazing song. I hope it catches on!!!!!!
The best time ever, we were so lucky. Carefree times with no pressures. I would not swap them times for anything. Thank goodness we grew up without today's technology. 😀😀
Edwin is so very beautiful in this video - looks just like the first love of my life, Colin... The music and lyrics are awesome - Edwin, along with Jeff Lynne, is one of my favourite music-makers...
When I first heard this track I was so impressed with Orange Juice - I just knew Edwin was made for greater things, his talent outshone his somewhat initial‘geekiness’, if that makes sense Hope you’re keeping well Edwin. All my best to you. Thanks for the vid. xx Jane Russell
j'ai retrouvé ce morceau, enregistré à la radio, sur une cassette (1984?) Il déchire sa race encore 40 ans après. J'ai eu une vie assez merdique, mais tellement heureuse d'avoir vécu les années 80! merci les gars. 🙏 I came across this song, recorded on the radio, on a cassette (1984?). It's still kicking ass 40 years later. I've had a pretty shitty life, but I'm so happy to have lived through the 80s! thx, guys
Absolutely Epic song!!! What a timeless classic this really is, it still sounds as fresh today as it did all those years ago. Total respect to Edwyn Collins. 🙏✊👏👏👏👏
the fantastic Zeke Manyika on drums also sessioned on Matt Johnson's The The -Soul Mining and Infected albums plus with the Style Council - superb talent, many thanks
1:13 I'm suprised American Express and Diner's Club logos basically look almost the same today! Everything else in the video though is like from a different world. Head scarfs, the cars, the clothes.
I had this music video saved to my playlist from another channel, was devastated when I saw it was removed due to copyright issues, now that it's on an official Orange Juice channel I'm elated again! Also lol at when he falls around 2:06 xD
Same here had it in my playlist and was down when it was removed. Thank god it’s been reupload. Need some orange juice in these hard times. Stay safe Chey
A little Dust a day keeps reality away. We’ve never need the slightly-delic sounds of Space Dust so desperately… Aktown needs ya’ll to come back and kick out the jams. Set the controls for the heart of the sun and lets get dusted baby!
I really like this band. I used to play them as a student DJ on my Saturday night college radio show back in the '80s. I listen to them today for their cozy synth pop melodies.
Ah the early 80s trendy Glasgow West End Set with a hint of Glasgow School Of Art thrown in for good measure- Orange Juice, H20, Altered Images, Strawberry Switchblade
I absolutely love this song! Ive been working in the hospital basement all day thinking of this and I couldnt wait to get out and stick the headphones in and have a listen! Tapping away on my seat like an idiot on the train! 😁
Liked this song when first out a year after I left school but luckily it does not age or gravitate to a decade .sounds better everytime I hear it . .Thank you

Simply one of the greatest pop songs of all time.
Now I hit forty and realise what a fucking great record this is. It has it all. Still fresh af after four decades.
Some damn fine bands came out of Scotland in the 80's Orange Juice, Big Country, Altered Images, Texas just to name a few, brilliant.
Yes they did including Simple minds and Blue Nile

Absolutely, thanks to all the replies adding more great Scottish bands to the list. The Associates were unique, some dark sounds and Billys voice was haunting. That keyboard sound on party fears 2 is just beautiful
Deserves to be played once.
A day.
Ah hour at least😁😁🎶
A minute in my case!
For the rest of your life ..

John peel quote?
This is the first single I ever bought. Still sounds fantastic. God the 80's were awesome 👌
I know! I was but a wee kid back then but I miss it so much.
It's amazing
Your so wrong....they were better than awesome!
I have this on 12 inch
Nothing will compare to the eighties. Feel sorry for the kids growing up today.
The best music ever the late 70s early 80s
100 percent
Makes me think of I need you tonight by inxs . I googled this after seeing a post about Strawberry Switchblade ❤
Was sad to discover the challenges Edwin has had with his health in recent years. Love the 80s, all the best.
There's a video of Edwin performing "Rip It Up" live relatively recently
He's fought back ❤
2:43 "I'm sorry, you can't film in here, please."
@@ChrisJones-ij3xp I try to understand what this has to do with the singer's health.
March/April 1983 - when I was a 7-year-old boy watching Top of the Pops. Yep, childhood memories. Like the guitar riff.

Hearing that bass sound in such a chill track when you're used to hearing it in acid house is weird, but it's sure interesting!
I mentioned this at a party and have been banned from sex forever henceforth
Also probably the only successful song where the 303 is doing what the guys at Roland intended it to!
lol this is the only reason to know about this song
@@santisan6925 & u are here listening to it...? lol
Why can't music be like this again ....
Because talent is a rare and precious thing.
Because today its all manufactured and original genuine talent with new ideas does not get a chance in that kind of environment.
I suppose LCD Soundsystem is quite close to this sound.
Agree ❤🎉
There is still music like this
This still sounds great decades later. The TB 303 bass was an inspired choice that kicked off a massive trend and the homage to Buzzcocks' Boredom was just so classy.
More like 4 decades
I'm 73 years old, I love this song! How did I find it? Watching the movie, GOLD, it was played in it, the rest is history.
73!?!? Wow
Awesome Movie as well !
@@garybreyjr353 Yep!
Omg this takes me back ..loved the 80s .A much nicer time and so much simpler.
I literally had NO IDEA that this was Edwyn Collins, same guy who sang "Never Known A Girl Like You Before".
ladycplum
🤘🏼✌🏼😘 sometimes give two many ways II
Me neither ,at all.
Yes, his original band. Lots of great stuff - check out What Presence as well
I recognized the voice instantly... But couldn't believe he looked like this.
I've known "A girl like you" all my life, but I had never seen his face.
WHAT!!
The 1980's a wonderful time to be alive.
Yes we were spoilt for choice, great era
Sure was! Wish I could go back there!
Can we go back pls
Agree and people weren't so ignorant and clued to their phones
Agreed
Saw them at the Royal Court in LIverpool in about 1984. There was a national strike and no transport. I was a student in Liverpool and walked there- must have been less that 100 in the audience but they still played.
Ah, the Royal Court. First ever gig was there - Killing Joke '83.
"I hope to god you're not as dumb as you make out"
What a line. Just a fucking great song.
That's the stand out line for me too
“And I hope to God I’m not as numb as you make out.”
Yeah and the response.... "I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out"... Great lyrics writing
Was in Hackney at the time at the bad times great song from Glasgow band
It's awesome and it's SCOTTISH
When my mother died from covid in 2020 I kept playing this over and over again. I guess it just fit my mood at the time
Died from COVID? OR MURDERED?
I'm so sorry ❤
What about your mother who just wanted PEACE?
I met Edwyn and his wife in a train station in Luton once….I almost cried.
Luton can do that to you
Lisa,..I just inhaled cucumber..never done that before... the beers are on me!
@@alibullen7178 glad you got one of your 5 a day
@@lisajohnson1528 What? The beers?
You're a dude, right? Just call me old fashioned.
There's 80s music and then there's this. I like it!
40 years ago! Yet still so refreshing.
Played 80"s to younger asian friend recently. He loved it. His words, "real music." Forgot this one, found today, 2024 Great composition with the acid synth, which is why i liked it and b-line. Ah...good times.
Was 6 years old in 1983 when it came out. Remember hearing it being played at Woolworths in East Ham
I grew up in East Ham too.
@@gregoryeze7111 that's great to know fellow East Londoner
This came out in '82
my favorite thing about old music videos is them not knowing what to have the drummer doing
This is just a wonderful observation :)
how have i gone my entire life without hearing this???
I don't know.
Myself and my best friend mark were both painters and decoraters at the time this song came so you can imagine the crack we had at our customers homes stripping wallpaper off the walls and singing RIP it up and start again . Just brilliant.
amazing!
Aw, that makes me want to cry.. ❤
I love peoples memories ❤️
Up the painters,great song
The level of detail in this old school TARDIS recreation is impressive.
My whole life is ripping it up and starting again, the only thing I'm truly good at
🤣🤣🤣
We can be friends
Oh, we're supposed to start again?
No wonder
Nah.
All I do is rip.
...and sleep.
Snap lol
Earlier today “a girl like you” came on and was telling my co-worker how Edwyn suffered cerebral hemorrhaging. After work i scroll through youtube and this song shows up. Always listening, always watching.
This was one of the top bands out of Scotland
My favorite part is the sax solo. I first heard this song on college radio driving in my car in Rutherford County, TN!
"rip it up and start again" , the best book about post punk. And a marvellous song!!!
I want to go back to 1983😊
There's a new year coming up...wish 'radio' would get its act together and RIP it up and play majestic songs like this...each day,not too muck to ask.😊
The love between Edwyn and his mrs is special ,seen them on a few interviews on tv ,and truly a thing to behold
Grace
@@alanoneill3065 cheers
Oh, little Edwin, you did good.
Loved this track & still listen to it - lyrically appropriate!

Scotland's finest, awesome, haven't heard this since the eighties.
The coolest band ever... with the coolest song.

edwyn was a good looking lad in the day
*I am suddenly very attracted to this band.* Totally going to check out their whole discography!
You won't be disappointed!
The kind of band that makes me glad to be Scottish.
You bawbags certainly punch above your weight.
Cocteau Twins, Big Country, AWB, Orange Juice, Twilight Sad etc etc etc
can’t believe i just discovered this band a few weeks ago, they’re so catchy!!!

I think Miami Horror samples this in “Leila”
If Kate Bush can have a massive comeback in the 2020s, I'm sure bands like this could too.
SPOTIFY
Flipping heck, Edwyn Collins was gorgeous...and all that time I was in love with Nick Heyward of Haircut 100.
Takes me back ❤❤❤❤What a great time to be a teenager the music was outstanding .
The best time ever, we were so lucky. Carefree times with no pressures. I would not swap them times for anything. Thank goodness we grew up without today's technology. 😀😀

1983. Sounds like yesterday.
This is a hit!!! Base line crazy. Vocals are amazing. Hook is catchy. Still hits in 2019
Still love just tune
The bass line is also one of the earlies known uses of a Roland TB-303 synth - so it's proto Acid!
a lot of early 80s songs used the TB303 for what it was intended as a bass substitute, all that Imagination stuff etc., but this is a great track
When I first heard this track I was so impressed with Orange Juice - I just knew Edwin was made for greater things, his talent outshone his somewhat initial‘geekiness’, if that makes sense
Hope you’re keeping well Edwin. All my best to you.

Classic song of the 80’s!
It's a funk pop masterclass!
Once told by a girl called Marie Woltsenholme that I looked like the lead singer of Orange Juice.I wish!!!Superb band,very much underappreciated
Sorry,her name was Maria Wolstenholme not Marie.Ships that pass etc
Takes me back happy memories as a teen ❤❤

The Possibilities Are Endless. Edwyn Collins, you are a f****** inspiration!
This record should get more recognition because it’s an old Classic ✌️
That is one low-budget TARDIS! Great song and one of the first top-ten hits to ever use the Roland TB-303 bass synth.
RIP it up and start again
Classic
Let's hope Edwyn is ok
One of the greatest living Scotsmen.

Yes
I was 17 in 1980 and my decade to have a blast, had more than my fair share of cars, bikes, gigs and girls!
wow 42 years ago so you 60 age now
I had a Bike . Was 15
Shout out to the Roland TB-303 bassline, the first ever!
is it really the first though?
@@crieverytim yes
when people actually used 303s for their intended purpose of bass guitar replacement... bless
@@DylanPank71 Hmm despite being Indian I didnt know about this. Albums arent really popular here
Everyone's favourite summer song, surely. "Like Glue" is the chapter in Heathlands that points this way.
I really like this band. I used to play them as a student DJ on my Saturday night college radio show back in the '80s. I listen to them today for their cozy synth pop melodies.
This is so fresh even now! Timeless
They started playing this at my job recently & it’s so contagious
First heard it while watching sexy sport clips on DSF in 2009 or so. Still listening to it
I'm 66 and song makes me feel younger 🙂
Wow! A very young edwyn Collins! Lovely song and one I'd forgotten about.
From the days when video was so modern and important. A great song
The song is fantastic and Edwyn is a legend.
One of my favourite /80’s songs , just a wonderful tune
Manc' Poly 83 - flat tops, a Certain Ratio, Laura's locks, the Dolphin LP cover, sockless sandals down Oxford Street. Welcome Edwyn, forever welcome.
This is an absolute unit of a song!
Ah the early 80s trendy Glasgow West End Set with a hint of Glasgow School Of Art thrown in for good measure- Orange Juice, H20, Altered Images, Strawberry Switchblade
A song that evokes great memories.😊❤
I never heard of this band before but I like this song a lot
Devilishly catch song by Orange Juice. Love it!
I absolutely love this song! Ive been working in the hospital basement all day thinking of this and I couldnt wait to get out and stick the headphones in and have a listen! Tapping away on my seat like an idiot on the train! 😁
The 6-track mini LP, Texas Fever, is brilliant. A great place to start for anyone new to Orange Juice.
One of the BEST SONGS in the history of sound and rhythm 🙏
This is the first single I pulled out to play when we got our record player back into use last year...
blimey, Edwyn was extremely cute when young 😍
I loved this song at first hearing, just loved that quirky joy. I’ve just done a dad dance alone in the kitchen.
Love ❤️ this song 🎧 gosh it takes me back!
Bought this album in 1983. It really influenced how I moved into the future.
