Smalltown Boy...Jimmy Somerville & Bronski Beat.

Wow we are now traveling forward in time to 1991 !!...with a 45 rpm EP on a 12 inch Disc...I guess that when the recordings were over 3 mins long they would not fit onto a regular 7 inch disc and of course the singer  and arrangements can let the music flow without the restriction of about 3 mins !!

In 1983, Somerville co-founded the synth-pop group Bronski Beat, which had several hits in the British charts. Their biggest hit was "Smalltown Boy", which peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. In the music video Somerville plays the song's titular character, who leaves his hostile hometown for the friendlier city, reflecting Somerville's own experiences when he moved to London.
