Strawberry Switchblade - Who Knows What Love Is (Alternative Original Mix)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- The original, never officially released David Motion produced mix of Who Knows What Love Is. Only found on the very first vinyl test pressing of the Strawberry Switchblade album.
WEA bosses allegedly felt Motions production was too spiky and wanted a more commercial sound, so brought in producer Phil Thornalley to rework this track and Let Her Go. Sadly their efforts backfired, with only the Motion produced Since Yesterday becoming a sizeable hit.
Many thanks to Strawberryswitchblade.net for being the best source of SS info on the web.
Video synchronisation, audio de-clicking and tweaking by myself.

this is so me and i can’t explain it
Yes same this is amazing. I keep watching and listening to it. I love Strawberry Switchblade so much. I feel they reflect such specific feelings and identity I have, I didn't think I'd ever see something like this. They both seem very lovely
@@vendetta1429 sooo incredibly real!!!! i love them dearly
i was wondering if this was on youtube! i think the new one is a downgrade, to be honest -- dave motion really was the guy for this job
Sitting in my front room
On a rainy afternoon
My mind turns to think of you
And how I might see you soon
Then I get myself a glass of milk
And a colour magazine
I flick through it slowly
But the pages are unseen
And I think
Who knows what love is
I wonder if you do
Who can tell me what love is
I wish it could be you
I wish it could be you
Sitting in my front room
As the sun is going down
I'm wishing I had someone
Who could maybe come around
Oh but all I do is watch TV
A programme I want to
But I never see it
Cos I'm thinking about you
And I think
Who knows what love is
I wonder if you do
Who can tell me what love is
I wish it could be you
I wish it could be you
Who knows what love is
I wonder if you do
Who can tell me what love is
I wish it could be you
I wish it could be you
Who knows
is there a higher quality of the video picture of this ... i mean Tim Pope directed it there has to be a better looking one, and i also remember seeing some behind the scenes footage of the making of this video.
I wish there was as it's a gorgeous looking video in HQ, from what I remember back then. Unfortunately we seem to be stuck with this until a better source is found. A two disc reissue of the album with a DVD of the videos would be really nice.
Is it just me or is that strawberryswitchblade.net site down? I was on it a couple months ago but it's not showing up anymore??
Not just you, it appears to be down here too. Hope it's not gone for good.
you can always find it on the internet archive ...
the page only stays updated into 2010 then nothing is updated since...

Isn't it an Edit Version of the Extended Mix where is found on the japanese 12" album?
It's not I'm afraid, though I can see what you mean, it does sound similar in places. The audio for this came from the test pressing owned by producer David Motion himself. Some of the Extended versions on the Japanese release were put together by the record company, with no involvement from either the girls or producers from what I can gather.
Ah ok, thanks for the info!
