The Walker Brothers: No Regrets / Midge Ure: No Regrets


The Walker Brothers version of "No Regrets" from 1975. I really like this but I first heard the song when Midge Ure released his version of the song in the UK in 1982 which I think I like even more - you know the way you do when you hear the non-classic version of a song and love it before you hear the version that's regarded as the classic. 


The classy 80's video for Midge's version is great. I also feel all nostalgic looking at the single cover as I had the 45 of this and remember the cover. It's given me a body memory - you know when you see or smell something and it throws you right back to that  moment in your life - and you feel exactly as you did then.


P.S. Midge is Scottish, and was lead singer of Ultravox.
