"Golden Brown" was a waltzing, harpsichord-led ballad in a 6/8 time signature from The Stranglers. (The instrumental bridges add an extra beat in every other measure, effectively producing a 13/8 time signature), with the 7 inch record featuring B-side "Love 30".

The beat seems to be accented on the first of every three, i.e., 3/4 time, 4/4 on the instrumental bridge. Can anyone confirm?

Yes. It's either 3+3+3+4 or 3+3+3+2+2 (the drum pattern suggests the latter). KovacsUr 22:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, actually it switches between 3+3+3+4 (or 3+3+3+2+2) and 3+3+3+3.

This song make s me wanna live in the 1800's! Woot.

Undoubtedly the greatest song ever to be produced.....This ode to heroin makes one feel what others may call the eutopian effects of the drug.......without actually taking the drug! This unique piece identifies the glorious alternatives to drug use and with it, the world is a better place! (A.K.S)

The Irish station Today FM played Skin Deep today (16th October 2006). So I guess that paragragh towards the end of the page is incorrect.

No-one has mentioned that this song sounds like it's about Gordon Brown. But alas, I suppose that isn't the sort of thing you can put in an entry here... 62.136.191.88 16:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I took out an unsourced claim that also didn't adhere to Wikipedia style guidelines. If you want to source it and make it encyclopedic, here it is: "+Edit By a Iranian User:That phrase is Shiraz ( The beautiful city in Iran) and 6/8 is most Popular rythem in Iran.The "Throughout the" in 5th line is too." 68.8.134.10 06:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coverart

The coverart used in this article is a bootleg Russian flexidisk version [1] and not the official coverart (white text on brown background, or gold on brown on most reissues). And it seems these releases are considered official on the Love 30 article. Best change this. Korinkami 19:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
