Pink Floyd's Disco Days - Rosebud (Discoballs)

Rosebud's Tribute to Pink Floyd is, rather predictably, a bit shit. But their rollerdisco cover of 'Have a Cigar' has something going for it. God knows what.


Have A Cigar - Rosebud


Here's one suggestion of what it's got going for it:

Rosebud's adrenalized take on Roger Waters' Have a Cigar was, improbably, an enormous hit on both sides of the Atlantic. To this day, the 12–inch single mix is prized by collectors and considered a high–water mark for nascent electronica (interestingly, the track's most prominent feature is Engel's rippling lead guitar, which he says was made up in the studio, during the session).
