Eamon
Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)

Jive

WE SAY

When our friend Toby Slater tipped us off about this smash it had just climbed ten to #26 on the Hot 100 in the US. It's now at #1 on the sales chart. We love it. And it strikes us as a very Clive Calder record both for the lyric, the sound, and the fact that it's a massive hit - good to see his influence goes on beyond his period as owner of Jive. The website's worth a look for those disillusioned by Valentine's Day. One for Moyles or Whiley to champion. (Apologies if the clip is offensive - there's no radio edit)
