Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector. (adapted from Walter Benjamin's essay on collecting)

I've got a press release for this 12" stuffed in the sleeve somewhere. Will dig it out and give you the correct date mate. Hold tight.

Have fun,

Good to know that there are STILL people out there lovin' this track which we recorded in 1982 at Good Earth Studios (Tony Visconti's studio in Dean Street Soho) and engineered by someone who became a top record producer, Chris Porter.
We have digitised most of the old recordings and re-mixed and mastered them - album coning in April 2013 (31 years later!)........

HI there Ivan,
Good to hear from you and that you are still around. That 12" EP is still one of my all time favourites and brings back memories of the Belvedere Arms in Ascot back in the early 80's. We met once when I signed you to do a gig at the Cellar Bar at the Bracknell Arts Centre way back in the late 80's Early 90's. Could you get a copy of the LP to me so I can give it a big push on my weekly internet radio show on J.F.S.R.
Let me know
KG (aka DJ Mayafra)
