Nonetheless the Quattro has been released in the UK and while waiting with bated breath to see what new and ingenious way they have come up with to attach the blade to the handle and what exciting price they intend to get for it - currently it costs around £6000 a week to remain clean-shaven - we have the advert and the advert has what is unmistakably Blister in the Sun. It is not a version I have heard before and I don't think it is the Femmes at the wheel. It has more orchestration - keyboards and whatnot - than the Femmes version and it has a jazzed up Brian-Ritchie-esque bass-line that is not Brian Ritchie. I have never heard any of the cover versions, are any of them studio tracks?
