What exactly is this track? I love it, and I think it's one of the final unknown N0 tracks I've come across. Thanks :thumb:

B-Side of Round & Round...

It seems (I've heard it in an interview, but since I'm not from the UK, it might not be that at all) to be the theme for a TV show called "Best & Marsh", hence why they added the words "Theme From" in front of it, only on the bonus disc.

That version is available on the Canadian CD Single only (on CD), and on the UK 12" of Round & Round.

In case this is of any interest to NO trivia fans from outside the UK...

'Best & Marsh' was a football programme on Granada TV, hosted by Tony Wilson. It used to appear on a Sunday night about 11pm in the late 80s if memory serves. The show was centred around the memories & views of 2 ex-pros from the 60s/70s Rodney Marsh & George Best who played together at Fulham in the twilight of their careers.

Both still appear on UK TV providing controversial views on UK football & also made a living in the States at one time - Rodney Marsh's soccer school in Florida, while Best played for the LA Aztecs for a period in the early 80s.

Unfortunately, they are a pair of twats.

I was responding with humor because the display of facts was so complete by Johnny on the origination of Best and Marsh that I was awestruck by the detail. Thus, in the midst of my awe, I could only respond in that manner. The thread could have been closed after that nice succinct complete response.

They should have used "Don't Do It" instead. I think that's the best b-side from Technique.

Agreed, but "Best & Marsh" is a fine tune IMHO. Why didn't they fill up the 5th disc more?
