All that scratchin' is making me itch

Whoever it was out there in the wide world of MP3blogs who made available (from the original vinyl, no less) "Trees and Flowers" by Strawberry Switchblade, I am not worthy to lick your Dr Marten's boots. Here is a song I haven't heard even once since the days when it was on reasonably high rotation on Melbourne's 3RRR, circa 1982, and have been desperate to hear again ever since. Thank you thank you thank you. Remarkably, it is just how I remember it, and also just as special as I remember it being. (Yes, tears of nostalgia have been duly shed, for those thrilling days when all of our gang were living in those tiny "dog boxes" they give to the first-year students at Trinity.) Have I already said thank you? Whoever you are?
