Little-stevie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Two from Mr Levine productions, and these were massive. Reaching for the Best - The Exciters Your Magic Put a Spell on Me - L J Johnson This is a trip down memory lane indeed and i did have these two monsters ... Room 101 indeed... James Coit.. Black Power.. One of the first records i bought at Clifon Hall, only heard it played once since early 80s... Not sure it will have its second coming.. You can bet that quite a few off this topic are still getting spins at some place, there are many out and out oldies events on the calendar each week... Thrre Little Pigs ... What in gods name was that about, massive tune a few years ago for a short while... Its a huffing and a puffing its way to the dustbin... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Ste Brazil Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Anybody remember Ronnie Dyson - Lady in Red...? Massive in the mid 80s but seemed to die a death and I've never heard it played anywhere since. Maybe it was the title that put people off? Or, come to think of it, maybe it was just awful I used to love this in the 80's, but thank God it never gets played anymore...on par with 'Love on a mountain top'... Ste.
