Thank you for the Helen Terry post. “Now You’re Mine” always reminds me of summer back in the 80’s, piling all my friends in my van and heading down to the beach for the weekend. I used to be very active back then and so It also always reminds me of Miss Christie’s Saturday morning aerobic classes! Always wanted to hear this again….LOUD! Thank you for all the work you do keeping this music accessible to us. Best Wishes and a Big Hug!
Thanks for all three of these awesome posts. I have warm feelings about this movie which include my crush on my youth pastor who took me to see it. 🙂
You’re welcome Conner love hearing stories like this. I had a similar situation with my older next door neighbor who was a marine and took me to see “Desperately Seeking Susan” what a crush I had 🙂
Great Post! I loved the Helen terry Blue Notes album and all the singles/mixes from it. She did release 2 cd singles a while back – Heart Of A Woman and Fortunate Fool which . were very very good I thought. Thanks for this – great track x
You’re welcome Wolfie enjoy 🙂
Helen Terry is indeed a wonderful singer!
Her vocals lifted Culture Club singles like Victims, Church Of The Poison Mind and The War Song to another level!
Back then, I’ve always hoped for a duet between her and Alison Moyet!
Thanks for ripping this and the coming Electric singles!
Ooh that would have been a great duet 🙂
One of the best voices of the 20th century!
Sadly underrepresented in actual studio recordings.
Hopefully George will coax her out of singing retirement for the Culture Club reunion tour.
Thanks Paul, this is probably my favorite Helen Terry track.
Electric Dreams is one of the very best soundtracks of the 80’s.
You’re welcome Cdmaniac 🙂
Paul: Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I had it when it was came out but I loaned it to someone and it never made it’s way back. The P.P. Arnold 12″ would be a great find too, it has two exclusive mixes – “Electric Dreams (International Dateline Mix)” and “Electric Dreams (Esperanto Mix)”.
Omar: Helen Terry did sing on the 2010 Scissor Sisters album “Night Work” on a track called “Whole New Way”. Maybe there’s a chance she will record some more new stuff soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
You’re welcome Tony. Yeah I will have to find a copy of the P.P. Arnold 12″ 🙂
THanks ! great 12 for a great 80s movie!
Moroder makes great classics of synthpop!
You’re welcome Drake 🙂
I was hoping this one would be posted here! 🙂 Thanks!! Hope there will be more Helen posts in the future! 🙂
There will be Doug 🙂
Helen Terry was an amazing singer. She doesnt sing anymore i think but that voice could rock a mountain. Paul do you also have her single Act Of Mercy ? Thankx
I have a couple others but not “Act Of Mercy” Omar sorry.
This was an odd movie – the rumour was that the soundtrack made more money than the movie itself, which is presumably why they kept issuing singles from it. I’ve got the 12″ of the PP Arnold title track (written by Boy George and Phil Pickett), but there was nothing on the soundtrack that came close to Phil Oakey and Moroder’s Together in Electric Dreams.
P.P. Arnold is the only one I don’t have. Oddly I have never seen the movie.
I’ve seen the movie. Not exactly your Oscar nominee, but still a fun B-movie
Thanks for this forgotten classic. I had this and the other three 12″ singles from the brilliant Electric Dreams soundtrack (Oakey/Moroder, PP Arnold, Jeff Lynne) are you planning to share them all? I loved the sleeve designs too by Malcolm Garret/Assorted iMaGes. Thanks again 🙂
Hi Andrew I have all of them except P.P. Arnold I will have to find a copy for a later posting. I am planning to post the others this week however 🙂
I didn’t even know this was released as a single! Paul, you have some absolute gems in your collection. Will there be rips of other releases from the soundtrack, e.g. “Video” by Jeff Lynne?
Thank you Dan. Yes there are going to be more releases from the soundtrack this week and Jeff Lynne is one of them 🙂
