This week’s bootleg is a housey rework by Kevin Brooks (one third of Kidstuff) and Black Booty’s own Jonnie Polyester. Originally recorded by synth duo Blancmange, ‘Leaving On The Ceiling’ was one of those early eighties tracks which incorporated to great effect eastern melodies/instrumentation (Monsoon’s ‘Ever So Lonely’ is another). A golden era for British pop music which was then experimenting with new concepts & technologies and making a killer from dance floor to radio.
