The Baron’s Lucky Dip # 3 Kirsty MacColl – Walking Down Madison

Continuing the random eyes closed trawl through 35 years worth of record collecting today’s gem is Kirsty MacColl’s Walking Down Madison, perhaps the rockiest and most ‘street’ she ever got in a career tragically cut short by a complete and utter moron in a speedboat. A co-write with Johnny Marr and an all too rare hit single (number 23 no less) incredibly it celebrates its 25^th birthday this year and, well, it doesn’t sound too shabby does it eh?
