1st January, 1970
It’s been a bloody big year for Editors. Not only do they have a second album that went to number one but Tom Smith – that’s the singer don’t you know – is going to become a father. Edith Bowman is pregnant!
But that’s enough of the gossip. They opened the Brit’s launch party in style launching into their single Smokers In The Hospital. Epic!
So epic in fact that some girl at the bar said to her friend: “Who is this?”
The reply: “REM.”
Erm. Well, not quite but I’m sure they’d be flattered by the comparison!
