Cliff Richard.

Cliff Circa 1982...Getting away from his "Pop" image with a selection of songs that are ok BUT not any of them are rememberable...I guess that this was the start of him aiming and definitely succeeding to become the artist he is today !!....He Co-Produced this L/P and the cover is quite clever emphasising the "Title"....There is more L/P's by "Cliff" coming soon!!!

Dirty Dancing (Film).

Another soundtrack with songs that are played in the background of the film so you don't realy notice them till you see the back cover of the L/P and then you have to watch it again to get the feel and mood !!!...and of course it has that classic track "Time Of My Life" and the "Nobody should put "Baby" in the corner " line !!!

Michael Bolton.

Dig the crazy hairstyle !!.Still we are in 1989 so I suppose its the fashion !!...But Michael's hair looks better today even if he has lost some of it !!! (like me ) !!!...Back to the music I did'nt realise that he wrote most of the songs on this L/P...I believe that this was one of his first L/P's and contains some of his best known songs....Great version of one of my favourite songs "Georgia On My Mind"and its a great all round set of songs !!!

Richard Clayderman.

Some semi-classical piano now... all the tracks I assume are "French" tunes... that assumption comes from the fact that they are bracketed ( ) in french on the back !!!...still wish he would do some "Swing" ala (Previn) or "Honky Tonk" ala (Winnifred Attwell or Russ Conway) !!!..Still if he did that then I suppose it would'nt be a "Richard Clayderman !!!...BUT I still enjoyed it !!

Traffle.

We now have one that I can't seem to find anything about...I Have "Googled" them but have come up with "Zilch"....and my brother and sister in law seem to have vague memories of where it came from...it was either bought at a local Leicester Club or maybe in "Cornwall" when on holiday...As they are an "Australian" group I assume that they were over here doing the rounds of the Clubs & Pubs performing.....Maybe some of you "Down Under" could enlighten us and give us some information...The "Nicola" that is mentioned on the signature on the front I am told was about 4 years old !!...she is now married and got two children of her own !!......So I recon that its a late 70's early 80's recording no date on the sleeve or record...and it is a "Private Pressing" From EMI (Australia) !!....All the tracks are written by the members of the group so they are all original songs....which poses the thought that the more you play and listen to it the better it becomes !!!!

P.S. "Bingo"!!!...thanks to "Dusty's" detective work we now have a little more info about "Traffle"....and a Video to watch !!!

Randy Crawford.

Don't know much about "Randy" except of course "One Day"...but these are some well sung songs with of course the "Love" theme so I guess "it does what it says on the tin"!!!!!
On the Track "Imagine" which is a live track the recording goes a bit funny left speaker goes a bit haywire...thought perhaps it was my turntable or connections that was playing up again...BUT recorded it three times and still had the same problen at the same time each recording !!!Sooooooo conclusion I think maybe that as it was a live recording and she seems to move around the stage that might be the problem !!!

Ethel Merman

Obviously this is not from the soundtrack of the film!!...If it was your thoughts would be "Where the hell is "Donald O'Conner & Vera Ellen" !!!..It is in fact a more detailed song list from the "Show/Film"with the original "Hostess With The Mostest"!!!!!!

When I was listening to this one a thought came into my head !!..was "The Mike Sammes Singers" doing some "Moonlighting" !!...very similar sound...So off to "Google" but drew a blank...information about "Geoff Love" but no mention of "The Singers "....so it remains a mystery unless someone had some info to pass on !!!
After listening to it a couple of times I don't think TMSS were responsible something is missing That distinct sound is not there !!
