I went through the hassle to find Seven Red Seven and mail ordered a CD and compact cassette from them at Magnetic Records (I think it was) years ago. Later they had two CD's at Amazon.com (Shelter and Acceleration 7) that had various versions of Thinking of You which were available up until fairly recently directly from Amazon and Amazon Associates are still selling them.

For some reason Worlds Apart by Shades of Grey has always eluded me. The closest I've come is a seller who worked the used music circuit at a monthly music show who said he saw vinyl copies in other states but didn't know who they were. Maybe it's worth jumping through the RM hoops. Can anyone confirm that the mix played on the Mars FM hot rotation for so long is the same one on Razormaid A-7?

The second Seven Red Seven album was very good also. Outstanding synth programming.

If my memory serves me right, I am pretty sure that Mars played the Razormaid version. I've been looking for the original for years but I think the only people that would have the original for that is Razormaid. I think they sent it directly to Razormaid for release and they never released it on their own. As far as I know, a true one hit wonder, although the song was never really a hit in the mainstream. Also, there was a Southern CA band by the name of Shades of Grey that released an album too in the mid to late 90's that is not related to the "Worlds Apart" SOG whatsoever.
