“Lost In The Night (Mack The Knife)” / “The Big Beat” (I-Spy SEE 11) January 1982

Still loud, still proud Page blusters away – or as he’s chosen to pronounce it here, ‘Awaaaaiiiiy’ – building a noise like a cacophonous Monkees. It’s difficult to knock someone who’s so obviously doing what he feels he must do. Like criticising a bloke being an electrician.
