Dave Stewart Barbara Gaskin Busy Doing Nothing 7" Vinyl

Like 'Siamese Cat Song' (Broken 4), 'Busy Doing Nothing' (Broken 5) is cover of a film song - in this case, the 1949 Bing Crosby classic A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which Dave remembers seeing on TV in his youth on countless wet Sunday afternoons. One of the most complex and engaging arrangements to come out of the Stewart/Gaskin camp. Remastered versions of the A and B-side appear on the CD album <a href="https://www.burningshed.com/store/davebarb/multiproduct/326/1909/">Broken Records - The Singles (Special Edition)</a>.

Please note: Picture discs are handmade & not audiophile pressings. This process of manufacture makes them, inevitably, more susceptible to crackles, pops & occasional warping. But they do look fab!
