May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’m just gonna put this here because, frankly, I still think this version of Jim Kerr was the most beautiful thing EVER. I still appreciate that aesthetic he rocked for like five minutes in 1981/82. There was a period of around 18 months in which he was just DELECTABLE! Amen… And Merry Christmas!
Hope you all have a safe, peaceful and happy Christmas and here’s to a stonking 2025.

The most venomous version of King Is White I’d ever heard Jim sing…not as angry sounding in his delivery as some of the earlier versions and he drops the “take/taking no prisoners” line – which is a big shame…but in the second refrain of the chorus he adds a “hang ’em up / sling ’em…
