I think it’s just prerecorded vocal for the show. TOTP used to give acts a couple of hours to put something together, mostly they ignored it and just mimed to the original. I guessing that they may have insisted here due to brand names. I agree it’s a really good alternative version to have. The guitar sounds mixed differently too.
great song RIP Poly love this from my teens
RIP Marianne Joan Elliott-Said aka Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex) love from Somaliland 💚🤍❤
Love this..
Love it. This is the original broadcast version where Poly sings XR way not SR and Glycerine not Listerine.
This version is way better than the album version and is very close to the John Peel session. Any idea if this was ever released?
