The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these....

"Not sure what this import version contains, but if you heard the original 9.53 version of Fools Gold back in 1989, you can't have failed to take notice - because it is astounding. Apparently it was intended to be the B side to What the World is Waiting For - even Squire and Brown weren't aware of their musical genius at the time! But listening to the irresistibly hypnotic groove produced by the effortlessly funky guitar, a superb drum loop and that bassline ten years later, it is still the groundbreaking sound of a band at the peak of their genius, drawing on influences such as Hendrix, Sly Stone and Chicago house music and moulding them into something unique. Unforgettable."

"the defining point of music for the 1990's. anything after is merely trying to emulate. dance music-all from this record. oasis- you wish you could do a song that could be on the b-side.nuff said"
