Appearing on an NME compilation tape in Feb 1981, this was Aztec Camera's first release after joining Postcard Records.

I just found this cover version of OMD’s Souvenir, by ‘The Weedy Pigeons‘. Not sure how many years have gone past since it was recorded, but apparently it was recorded when they were at high school and they do look a bit young. This song always gets me a bit sad – maybe I pine for the days when I only had to worry about where my next bag of sweets was coming from and nothing else. It just has that feel to it and this version is no exception. The keyboard tune has a few extra notes added, but that gives it a bit of an extra interesting twist. It’s interesting to see that there’s not much difference between the Weedy Pigeon’s vocals and Paul Humphrey’s. Really nice version, guys/girls.
