Loved that.
Growing up, going through the catalogue was always a Christmas tradition and even knowing when it was released was a big thing.

So you are saying that it was a Book of Brilliant Things? readmusicread

...in the beautiful black and the white (well, colour too obviously)

Credit to Argos for using the original track! Or at least something that sounds pretty close. Way too many adverts have been spoiled by using poor low-quality cover recordings, and to do that to one of my favourite tracks would have been horrendous. I'm fairly sure you can't get those £70 drums to sound like Mel Gaynor though. I was going to speculate that the young drummer might be Mel's daughter / grand-daughter, but from the YT comments it seems to be a young lady called Nandi Bushell and her "dad" is Omar Abidi, drummer of the band Fightstar. No, me neither, but I'll be keeping an ear out.

One for the Christmas No.1? At any rate, I hope they show The Breakfast Club.
