Paul Haig was originally lead singer of 1980s post-punk band Josef K who were assigned to the Postcard record label along with Orange Juice and Aztec Camera. Josef K recorded five singles and an album - "The Only Fun in Town" before splitting. Although I got to see Orange Juice and Aztec Camera live, I never got to see Josef K - one of life's regrets.
His first solo single was a cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "Running Away" which I bought in a record shop (remember them?) in Edinburgh while on holiday, it was highly recommended by NME at the time, and should have done a lot better in the charts, as should his subsequent records - if you ask me he was ahead of his time.
As with all his singles and lps, it had a great cover - this is still one of my favourite singles and it got me into liking Sly Stone too. He's released quite a few records since, which you can find at his website here or at ltm publishing here.
