  1. Spanish only 7 inch which can be picked up quite easily in the U.K. for about £6, this is the first non-lp single since We Dress Up As Snowmen. They should do more of these, but like anything these days, it's probably a matter of economics rather than lack of desire.

    Great single, though. Watching Charlie's Angels is one of those songs which builds to a wonderful crescendo. It has just one verse, which is repeated with Jonny joining in. A few "Do-do's" later Tattersall lets rip a wicked little solo and it ends. What more do you want from a pop song? Swimming, meanwhile, is just about my favourite WP's song. So catchy, another could-have-been single, and seemingly buried on as a European b-side. I'm kind of intrigued to know if these songs get played live much. The nature of their entry into the world probably condemns them to the lesser known corners of the WP's ever-growing song list, which is a shame as they both kick out the jams. Once again, BUY!
