The first is Idiot Check, a raw and spiky little number that didn’t quite fit into the album as well as it does into the live set so found itself sidelined, while the second is the post-rock electronica breakdown cover of The Source and Candi Staton’s You Got The Love. | "We changed the structure so it was much shorter and punkier and we worked our little Longcutisms into it." | | Stuart Ogilvie on the cover of You Got The Love |
The cover came about after singer-drummer Stuart Ogilvie heard the track in a club and decided it needed a Longcut overhaul during the sessions for A Call And Response. "We’d spent so long concentrating on our own stuff for the album and it seemed like a good idea to do something completely different," he explains. "We didn’t want to do an exact replica of the song so we changed the structure so it was much shorter and punkier and we worked our little Longcutisms into it." The single is a very limited seven-inch only release on Melodic, so you’ll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on one!
