yep, this one one of my favourite songs of all time and i always think about Klaus Kinski when i hear it. and yet it's taken me til this thread to realise it's "in imperfect clothes" not "and in perfect clothes".

although kinski wouldn't "try not to pose" to the cameras and girls - he'd be posing like his life depended on it.

the guitars on this album = great proto-Marr jingle jangle

I can't believe the Foo Fighters have covered this.

The original "Long Version"...
Who has seen this? I saw the LP in a shop, the version was short.

Did I really say it sounds like Bauhaus? I don't even know what Bauhaus sound like. Weird.

The long version is on that 3 cd set called "12 inch 80s vol 1" which is priced ridiculously cheaply considering the amount of wicked tunes on it.

...except that version is under 4 minutes long

Holy hell, how have I managed to not be aware of the Passions for this long?
Just went through Thirty Thousand Feet Over China and that is like some serious lost classic status.

I spent ages looking for a seven minute version of "German Film Star" thanks to this thread. I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually exist, unless it was the Pet Shop Boys/Sam Taylor-Wood version, which is 9 minutes.
No way you could ever confuse it with the original band, though.

So, I got the first two Passions albums, and wow, they're really excellent records. I love Barbara Gogan's voice; vaguely reminiscent of Debora Iyall, which is never a bad thing for me. Just fantastic guitar sound throughout, as well. As a new waver, I can't believe it took me this long to get around to them.
