Highly Tempting Indie Fun

What do you get when two of the finest and most iconic names in indie come together to produce a pop cover? When the artists are as self-assured and fun-loving as Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker, it's bound to work and 'Temptation' is a burning flash of indie excitement. Jarvis' lines quiver beneath Beth's shrill howls and a fiery onslaught of guitars. Heaven 17's cheesy hit is quickly transformed into a smashing hip disco floorfiller, and is sure to see a revival on dancefloors all over the country. Just picture Beth and Jarvis strutting their stuff to the taught beat and you'll be in the party mood!

The live collaboration may be a little rough round the edges in its nature, having been recorded at the NME Awards, but it's definitely worth buying to own a little piece of indie history, and what's more the profits go to Shelter - the campaign for decent housing for all.
