James Cagney - Nik Kershaw

Nik Kershaw's 1986 album 'Radio Musicola' was released to critical acclaim, but it wasn't a big success in commercial terms. It seemed Kershaw had outgrown his audience with the more mature work displayed on the album.

The single 'James Cagney' was released on the European mainland only. The 'extended version' on the 12" single is in fact the album version, which is about 2 minutes longer than the edit that appeared on the 7" single. A remix of 'Radio Musicola' is tacked on on the B-side for good measure.

My collection: 12" single no. 504
Found: Plaatboef, Rotterdam, July 24, 2009
Cost: 1 euro
Tracks: 'James Cagney (extended)' / 'Radio Musicola (remix)'
