REQ: Portraits (Pre-Fixx) - Singles

[Seona85]

I'm trying to track down these obscure singles - 'Little Women' and 'Hazards in the Home' as well as their B-sides 'Easy' and 'Never Let Go'. Portraits were the band which eventually became The Fixx of 'Red Skies' and 'One Thing Leads to Another' fame.

Anyone have these obscurities to share? Most grateful!

That's pretty cool.

i don't know about finding these songs, but i do want to know approximately when they were released (month).

i will be seeing the fixx playing 'reach the beach' live in its entirety later this year, and if i talk to the band,
i will ask them about it.
------------------------------------
i ordered the first one 'little women' because it was cheap in the US, should be a few weeks for that.

the second one has to come for europe/uk, and the cheapest is about $20 for that, so not going to get it.

thanks, the songs are pretty primitive, but developed into the fixx sound later on.

Many thanks! Hazards in the Home is particularly catchy. Also some other ones I'd never heard of here at this resource. I wonder where 'The Falcon Beat' instrumental is from.

I wonder where 'The Falcon Beat' instrumental is from.

Rupert Hine - The Falcon Beat is from the Better Off Dead Soundtrack. Jamie from The Fixx plays guitar.
