Thank you sir paul ♥
Thank you!
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!
LOVE George Kajanus and especially his DATA project. Thanks so much for posting!
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.
So cool to see another obscure post on here.
Cheers Paul 🙂
Cheers Marco 🙂
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. He did great things for remixes and… Read more »
Thanks Jeff hope you enjoy this one 🙂
Wow Paul! This post brightens up my day. I´m so glad to see an obscure single. I really missed these posts. You know they are my favorites. Can´t wait to get home to listen to it. Thank you so much Paul.
You’re welcome, Daniel sorry it’s been a while since my last obscure title I just like to mix things up 🙂
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!
Happy Monday Jeffrey 🙂
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!
Glad I was able to introduce you to a new one dugn 🙂
