Ash - Goldfinger

Here's another early Ash tune, from their first proper album 1977. Though it was the highest charting single from that album, it seems to have faded somewhat from public memory - if you hear something from it on the radio or in a club these days it's much more likely to be "Oh Yeah", "Girl From Mars" or "Kung Fu". At least it seems that way to me.

I always really loved this song anyway, it's a perfect example both of Ash's innate pop sensibilities and their brilliance at the teenager-in-love lyric. I feel like a teenager listening to this - and it's been a long, long time since I was.
