The Best Solo You Never Heard

One of the best solos I've ever heard, from one of the most unique English session players ever to live: the late, great Alan Murphy. Alan worked with Go West, Kate Bush, Scritti Politti, Mike and the Mechanics and Level 42 throughout the 1980's; a phenomenally interesting and criminally underrated guitar player.
