Echo & The Bunnymen - Rescue

Just a few days ago I posted the Echo & The Bunnymen song "Zimbo", and once you get started... well, there's no turning back. Here's "Rescue" off their immensely good 1980 debut album Crocodiles, one of their very best songs. When towards the end of the song Ian McCulloch repeatedly goes "Is this the blues I'm singing?" it transforms from simply being awesome into something bigger than life, especially live. Here though, is the original studio version, that should have made Echo & The Bunnymen bigger than U2 if the world was a just place. Sadly, it is not. "Rescue" become what you'd call a minor hit, reaching only number 62 on the UK singles chart.
