Oh My! Bad spelling aside, they were EVERYWHERE in 1987 and 1988! (Alongside George Michael and Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and Fleetwood Mac and Rick Astley)
They did a super hilarious version of Release Me which was on the B-side to Rocket (I think). Have you heard that before, Richie?
Yes, I have, I have it on a CD single somewhere. It is quite comical.
what a great find, thanks for the post!
Thanks Richie. I didn’t have these mixes.
