Hello Mirageman, and thanks for stopping by.
So, you must know a lot of stories about Liverpool's Bold Str. then. Lucky duck!

There was a brief stretch of time in the autumn and winter of 1995 where a friend and I had two unbelievably bizarre 'time rift' experiences. (I've posted about this in past threads).
We were driving out in the country late at night and we were listening to the "Indie" radio station. We heard a very cool new song, a really upbeat pop song. The song was "Brimful of Asha". Over a year went by, and I heard it on the radio again. I did some detective work online, and discovered the song hadn't even been written at the time we heard it.
Our only 'logical' explanation was that it had in fact been written and recorded, and there was some sort of pre-release promotion. That's pretty unlikely though. We were just struggling to make sense of it.
There was another instance of a co-worker describing a movie they saw over the weekend. I forgot about it, then saw a newspaper ad for the film almost a year later. It was being shown for the first time on a Friday, two weeks away.
There is no doubt in my mind that these time displacements occur. None.

Brimful of Asha was released in 1997 but only reached no 60 in the charts it was then remixed by fatboy slim and re-released in 1998 and went to no1 in the charts
So you could have heard the original version in 1997 then heard the remixed version in 1998 a year later. The original track would have been played on the indie genre stations when first released as you mention but that version didn’t get much air time but the later remixed version was much more popular and got lots of air time.
As you said this was in the autumn and winter time the original version was released in September 1998 the remixed version was released in December 1997
So you see your memory of this song matches the facts surrounding it perfectly except your memory of the dates seems to be off by a couple of years.
The only other explanation is that you were living in 1997 / 98 when you thought you were living in 1995

These are great stories, thank you for sharing. After reading them it seems like there are "slips" where people accidentally walk into something, and others that are more a result of desire/focus as if they were purposefully created to fulfill a need.
