Following on from a comment made on the 'Smash Hits' thread about Bernard introducing songs with 'made up' titles, I started looking for a specific one of these anecdotes within my collection.
I believe that, on 30/01/87 at Nagoya, Japan, Barney introduced 'Touched By The Hand Of God' as being called (rather delightfully):
'Last Night I Had A W**k From A Girl With A Spotty Back'.
After the song, he says something to the effect of:
'And the girl with the spotty back was playing synth on that track'. (He's a very bad man, that Mr Sumner!
)
Now, I've definitely heard this track, but I'll be beggared if I can find it. I seem to think it's on the 'Ostrich-A-Go-Go!' 7" bootleg, but I may be mistaken.
Sadly, I don't have this EP anymore, but I think that's where I heard it originally.
Additionally, although I have the rest of the Nagoya gig, I seem to be missing both 'Touched...' and 'Atmosphere' (the last two tracks) from the gig.
I'd love to hear this version of 'Touched...' again.
So, does anyone actually have the 'Ostrich' 7" that they could rip for me? Or, better still, have a copy of the complete gig that includes both missing tracks?
