Great record, is anyone playing it out?

It is a sweet thing isn't it.

Produced back when 'Tailor Mades' were actually pretty good! :thumbup:

Cleverley pulled together all those cool phrases about 'Western Union Men' and what have you.

Would certainly make a refreshing change to hear it played out.

Don't think they ever were a proper group, more likely a 'Biddu' put together.

And don't believe it was released anywhere outside the UK.

Anyone remember the Sally Sagoe 'STOP' on the same Polka Dot label?

It wasn't tailor made for the Northern scene surely? I'd have thought just an attempt at a UK dance record which i thought was what Biddu did.

Yeh, I guess the term 'Home Grown' would have been a better one, but it was picked up by the Scene in the same way as "Stop What You're Doing" "Honey Bee" and "A Man Like Me" etc. also great Biddu tracks.

Biddu definitely knew how to capture 'that' mock-Motown sound in his work, so if not 'tailor making' he was certainly paying tribute cos he knew that was the sound certain clubs wanted.

Suppose his only clear tailor made 'Northern Dancer' was.... 'Northern Dancer'...

.... will say no more about that one though ;o]

:thumbsup:

I Like the Xoverish bside- is it, love you more than any other guy, I also have a OK jimmy Wsner produced insto on this label, cant remember the artistname- Jab to the jaw's the title , I'll have look.

The milwalke youth orchestra- Jab to the Jaw on dart,

might appeal to anyone who like stringy wigan style intros.
