MTV video with dubbed WAV from the Code: Selfish CD Code: Selfish - Wikipedia
This is what us and our neighbours were listening to in 92. I think our kids liked the Fall. Probably the first band they saw. It was at Glastonbury and I went off on my own and they went to a talk by David Icke but our son kicked up and they got chucked out so they came down to the Pyramid stage. A stall caught fire which they enjoyed also.
