"Like A Ghost" by Ignatius Jones. 12" version. This is such an excellent track. Listen once and you'll be singing it for a long time to come. Strange it didn't do better. He never did anything like it ever again. This didn't get released again in any form as far as I know after the initial run of vinyl in 1982.

PS. The crappy video of it is on YouTube here;

If my memory serves me right, this song was penned by Steve Kilbey of The Church. It would have been interesting if this would have been a The Church release instead. Anyways, I love this song too. I also remember there being two great extended versions on the 12", an M&M Mix and an Original Mix.

Thanks Stuck.
Though I must say on like Steve Kilbey's version better - found on his solo album 'The Slow Crack'. Hypnotic/beautiful.

Also, does anyone have a shorter version or any other version of "like a ghost", I guess there are many versions out there. Thanks!
