Comments:

From The Observer (22nd December 2002):

"Of course, a few of us can't afford to buy our la-la-la-la-loved ones a Merc. But we can nick the stereo. Manchester's Edward Barton, best known for penning house hit 'It's a Fine Day' for Opus III and his eccentric appearances on The Tube, presented this lost classic in 2000, sung by a lady with the cold voice of a Valium-addled housewife. She raids the car, the high street, the all-night garage, the off-licence for her family's Christmas treats. Hilarious defiance in the face of sink-estate misery.
