- What a great song. And if you disagree, I invite you to just sit there in your wrongness and reflect upon what's gone askew in your life to bring you to such a sad, sad place. Anyway. Released just before "Back to the Future" in which it was featured, this song hit number one the same week the film was released. In terms of remastering, I used the 1080HD file from the Vevo version on RUclips and did a bit of color grading to remove the (to my eye) overly brown cast of the original. I would guess they used a tobacco filter on the lens for the club interiors originally, but I'm just a guy making stuff up 39 years after the fact. Anyway, enjoy.
Tools I used:
Topaz Labs Video AI
Final Cut Pro
Cinema Grade (color grading and film grain to help negate YT's compression)
I remember the first time hearing this song. I was fifteen and had never brought a record or cassette in my life. I would sit next to the radio for hours waiting for this to be played. It was so different than the other stuff being played, and I thought it incredibly cool. Now near 40 years on I still think it is one of, if not the best rock/pop song of the eighties if not indeed the whole 1980's til today. Those who don't like this I am unable to comprehend why? Perhaps the teenagers in the clip are a bit twee but the music video itself which in short form begins with Sean Hopper on the keyboards is just as wonderful as the song itself. Annoyingly there were two other songs with the same title during that same year. They were garbage. This was special. If this is pub rock than I'll have a truckload thanks but it's much better than that, HLN should have been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It is a sad indictment on the self-assured hipsters (not to be square ones but the faux avant-garde) of today that this has not happened yet. A huge thank you to Mr. Fox (what a great surname to have) for creating and posting this upgraded recording. Great Scott this is awesome.
Truth. As many hits as they had, I still don't think HLN ever got the respect they truly deserved.
