Fleur De Lys - Mud In Your Eye / I've Been Trying (2025 Reissue)

Their Polydor debut was an astounding 45 led by ‘Mud In Your Eye’, which was backed by a cover of The Impressions ‘I’ve Been Trying’.

The A-side is a coruscating Who-influenced breakbeat masterpiece that should be in everyone’s collection.

The flip takes the Curtis Mayfield ballad at a funereal pace, adds an almost trip-hop beat and gives us one of very best cover versions of the original mod era.
