One of the greatest pop songs ever produced, but sadly under the radar.

Don't bother with the Best Of  albums(s) go for Fickle Heart and The Game's Up albums and you have 90% of the best of their work.  Some pop, some meaningful songs, but all of them good or better.  For examples, check out "What Can Daddy Do?" and "Poison Pen Mail", "Rodeo Drive" and "Slide Away" from those albums.  All available on Spotify.

There was a compilation entitled "The Absolute Worst Crap From Sniff 'n' The Tears", but its sales were poor - for some reason.

That's "Sniff" (songwriter/vocalist Paul Roberts) in the leather coat. 

Unfortunately, they never went "Riding the Gravy Train" after this song...

How this track didn't find its way to the "Gentlemen Bronco" soundtrack...

 
Oh, deh tradegy.

As an example of how there's no quality control over typography these days, look at the album cover. There should only be one apostrophe. The way they have it, it's Sniff AND the Tears. But it's supposed to mean "Sniffing the Tears." So there. 

Our local expert begs to differ!
