Gidians League - Hey! Did You Know You’ve Got Your Face On Upside Down


 
Gidians League -Hey! Did you Know You’ve Got Your Face On Upside Down/You’ve Got a Mind of Your Own –Parlophone R 5933 (1972 UK)

Let’s stick then with Robin Goodfellow (see review below) for this bouncy Bubblegum ditty he wrote and produced prior to signing to Pye and being relegated to Dawn.
OK, it is a lightweight piece of fluff but a most enjoyable one thanks to its catchy chorus. It harks back to the pure Bubblegum sound of ’68 but adds a quintessential Englishness to the proceedings. What a great title anyhow...

After procrastinating getting a copy of this, I have grown to like the A side more - the title appeals to me just on its own. In some ways I prefer the B side 'You've got a mind of your own'. At times, the vocal phrasing reminds me very much of the Morrisey melancholy singing style.

As well as the above I think it's very well made (recorded, produced etc.)
