Interesting. I only know Sailor because of Phil Picket being the [hidden] “fifth member of Culture Club”. I’ve never even heard of this. It’s fun & futuristic — yet camp & retro. I’m here for it!

Thanks Paul. Was hoping this would eventually show up here. Very underrated project from George Kajanus. I always likened them to Yazoo but they never achieved that kind of notoriety.

Count me with the rest Paul. I love these introductions to the more obscure 80’s releases. I may know this though. I’ll have to check it out to be sure. I do know Ivan Ivan well from a lot of records, most notably from Book Of Love, Dominatrix and Figures On A Beach. Also LOVE him from Innocence In Danger. Now that is a superb 12-inch because of the awesome break used by the Latin Rascals in their radio mastermixes. Ooh, it gives me chills! Scott Blackwell is another name I adore too.

One of my favorite 80’s groups no one has heard! I have this 12” and the Ricocheted Love/In Blue 12” which I have played to death. 🙂
Thank you and Happy Monday!

Never heard this before. Checked it out online. Such a funky cool sound. Very 80’s! Being a former 80’s DJ where folks thought I knew everything that was out there, it’s great to be introduced to stuff I never heard of like this little piece. Thanks for taking me back to the 80’s and introducing me to things I missed. Cheers, Paul!
