Pigeon Steve's Glasgow-based label Seated Records follows up release of rare demos from 1986 with another reissue joint for the heads from the same year. Pop Wallpaper only released a few singles in their short-lived span, but this one absolutely needed a fresh release. Shuggie Otis' evergreen 'Strawberry Letter 23' remains one of the sweetest soul cuts of all time, and this synth-pop group brought a distinctive flavour to the song when they covered it in 1986. This reissue also brings out the tougher porto-house flavour of the demo version, not to mention a wild, jacked up acid version from Pigeon Steve and Useful Tom's playful, punchy box jam rendition.
