It took far too many posts for someone to come up with the right answer 🙂

Not upset, just seemed a bit pointless posting the same song as the OP, good as it might be.

No worries fellas. 🙂

It took me sooooo long to find that album.
HMV in Manchester managed to get a few copies on vinyl, a few years after the official release. We descended like locusts........

Oh, and.....

Yes I know its not quite the intro bit but hell in the early to mid 80's I listened to The Chameleons & the Cocteau Twins (+ This Mortal Coil) and not a lot else.

I even had one played at my wife's funeral, its not this one but it has a superb bass line.

Just exploring around Qobuz and this appeared in the list. Seems like the link is not showing the player it's Curtis Mayfield, (Don't Worry) If There's Hell Below We're All Going to Go

Won’t appeal to the masses on here I’m sure but always loved the intro to this.

Not just a great bass intro but a great song, great singer, great drummer and one of my favourite guitarists.

Exactamundo. Post what you want preferably within the threads criteria but not always. It's not a court of law, just a forum and some music based back and forth. A bit of clever subversion usually goes down well!

Can I just say I love threads like this.

No need for anything fancy just copy the stuff in the header into a post and it should work

Surprised this hasn’t come up yet

Not surprised that this hasn’t, but it should have done because it came into my head as soon as I saw the thread title and it’s one of my favourite album openers of all time. No messing around

This always inspires me to get up and do anything other than sitting around!

And as a bonus, when not bass-ing
