Extended remix of Let Her Go. Not released on the Let Her Go single, it first appeared as the bonus track on the 12" of the subsequent single Who Knows What ...
As we mark the 41st anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's Let Her Go, let's jump back even further in time to the earliest studio recording of it, from their very first BBC session.
Though the band were unsigned, Radio 1 DJs John Peel and David Jensen found them at the same time via different routes. They ended up recording a session for each show on consecutive days!

40 years ago today Strawberry Switchblade relased their final single - in Japan only. The sensual Hi-NRG track I Can Feel was, like all their songs, credited to the 2 of them equally even though this one was solely written & sung by Rose McDowall. Still not on streaming services!
