Discovered this band just a few days ago and I am completely hooked.
From what I have been able to hear through various rare video clips, they had a kind of synthpop sensibility, but expressed in
in a total amazing way through their distinctive saxophone based sound.....
1981 - Peace of Mind (7")
1982 - Rodeo (7 & 12")
1982 - A Taste Of.... (EP - 12")
1982 - Swing The Cat (Flexi - 7")
1983 - Lonely Boy (7 & 12")
1984 - Zoom (Take The Test) (7 & 12")
1989 - Push and Shove
Its a mystery to me how they managed to record & tour with some of the high profile names of the day, like The Fun Boy Three (just listen to the wonderful instrumental break in "The Telephone Always Rings", Musical Youth,
Culture Club (even George has an uncredited guest vocal appearance on "Lonely Boy") and never recorded a full album. A real shame.
If anyone would like to share these, if you would most appreciated......
