If I Could Write Poetry - Nikki Sudden (TVP Tribute)

From our debut Television Personalities Tribute Album which features Nikki covering If I Could Write Poetry.
The version that appears in the compilation is a re-working of the version Nikki and Epic recorded back in 1986 - during the sessions for "Texas" - which was left unfinished, until recently when the vocals and mellotron was added. Nikki accordingly reveals,
"My brother, Epic Soundtracks and I recorded our version of my favourite Television Personalities song during the sessions for the "Texas" album. but I wasn't able to sing it. When I tried a vocal track it seemed to be in the wrong key for me - so we left it unfinished. I always liked the backing track and always planned to complete it one day. When I saw Wally Salem was putting together a TVPs tribute set I thought that I should be able to sing it fine now, eighteen years on."

Fuck, they made me sign in...but it's worth it...I loved Nikki and Dan. Saw Nikki in Camden with the New Revolution in 1990...Sad but beautiful....Nikki is so underrated but oh well, so are we all. Nikki understands.

This is pure fucking genius! One of the best cover songs of all time.

It's so hard for me to say;-) Nikki Sudden proves that a Television Personalities-Cover can be better than the original. And I love the original and, above all, the TVP.

Only instrumentally, Daniel's vocals are better
