I first saw Orange Juice in 1981 at the Venue in Victoria London....all kilts and hats and tweed suits. There music was the joyous soundtrack to my youth....Never silly. Witty and 'tongue in cheek' and full of Soul.Check out music in the British Isles before punk.... and this supremely talented band and songwriter.Tony Mcloughlin
my god, orange juice, aztec camera, the scars, tv21, the skids, the assosciates, to name but a few .what an era in scottish music. glad i was there to see them all!!!
Oh my goodness. Where did you find this? This is fantastic. I'm hoping that Orange Juice start getting a little more credit. Franz Ferdinand basically made a career off ripping off these guys.And mind you, I adore them.
What a magical version!! I feel fantastic as I listen to this, much due to the mellow tone of the keyboards and the bass lines. Such warm and sublime harmonies. Elated!!
Orange Juice, The Teardrop Explodes, Echo And The Bunnymen, The Monochrome Set, Killing Joke, The Cure, The Stranglers, Julian Cope, The Icicle Works, Psychedelic Furs, Japan, The Birthday Party, Aztec Camera, Magazine, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Public Image Limited, The Smiths, Virgin Prunes, Elvis Costello, Bauhaus, David Sylvian, ........ the soundtrack to my mid teens!
oh come on! it's not that bad a song! the performance maybe is a bit dodgy! But who could begrudge them a hit at this stage in their career after so much fantastic music! Besides,how much of the 'bontempi funk' was down to the influence of Zeke?
Hehe... and the rough start is endearing, Edwyn looking back as the band struggles to sync up. I love watching a band live, the different feel of a song and the human interaction of the band members. It's half of music... Lip synching sucks. This is a great video!!!
Zeke's cool - but I think you miss the historical point- Orange Juice were brilliant - brilliant at what they did - this is not what they did, this is their silly - ( I wish it were ironic ) attempt to emulate Haircut 100 ( now that is ironic ) this, for all their ( Edwin's ) brilliance, is the very definition of selling out - and sadly falling flat on their arses.
None - it was down to David McClaiment and Talcum Toss, I guess. And you're right, it's not that bad - it's worse. It's like if Bowie did a rap album it might not be "that bad" but it would be pathetic.
Oh this is awful, the point when this band lost the plot or sold out or perhaps probably both. This makes my flesh creep. It's the sound of eggs going off - oh for the pure soul music of Felicity and Blue Boy? Sod this bontempi-funk.
Edwyn has always been a soul boy at heart, both songs are great so up yer bollocks if you think this is 'sell out' you just don't get it.

i can remember dancing to "rip it up" I fell in love several times that night.
omg , saw this live 3-4 times in this era .. loved OJ .. & this clip also reminds me how devastingly handsome edwyn was then!
OJ making their mark. Their influence is still heard.
thank you for uploading this, an extremely underrated band.
Poor Edwyn, he looks about 12 :-)
I hope he gets really well again.
The Images and the Minds (before they went corporate) and the mighty Fire Engines. We were blessed Gerry.
Brilliant. Brilliant. I've loved them since 1983, never saw them play in any way. So cool.
Funky Glasgow Now
punk attitude, proper tunes. fucking mint
Davey McClymont was some bass player!

Funny, apparently I'm the only (I know of) who knows them in my country... But who cares! They are really great (",)
I am also Alano..

spot on the undertones 1980 john o neill loved them and why wouldnt he great band and this is a great song their 4 th single 1981
Jesus. you have just summed up all of my favorite
bands, add Josef k and cabaret Voltaire and i will ask you to marry me
was it the bassist's mistake at the very end of the song after everyone else stopped?
Great music from such an underrated band from the 80s. The main vocalists reminds me of David Bowie.
Nice version of Poor Old Soul. Rip It Up; apt name.
Is Edwyn Suggs' long-lost half brother? Certainly looks like it.
anyone know what Edwyn is playing on guitar there?
The joy Division of Scotland
The un average white band🙌
7:32 rockin that 80's stache! Rippin it up
@LeSexisme
