This little known group from Germany's north enjoyed the vibes spread by Dr. Buzzard and the Tom Tom Club and formed their own version of Mutant Funk, Cocktail Jazz and Synth Pop. It's actually a BIG album with many hits. Sadly nobody cares...

Year: 1983

Condition: VG+/VG+

That dude was actually one of my heroes in 1983. I only knew Stand And Deliver and saw that he had paint on his face - like Kiss (the greates band in my little universe back then). Knowing this you might understand that I dared to listen to this horribly looking album including a bunch of horrible songs. And the reward: VANITY - wtf  - what a tune !!

LISTEN!

PS. Blouses win!

May I introduce this unknown Pop Pearl from late 80s Hamburg? Thank you! The number one reason to own a copy is the beauty of a über-balearic tune called Who Knows Doesn't Talk. Please excuse that I dare to do the opposite! While I am at busting secrets: the hits are ALL on the B-Side. That might explain why nobody cared much for this album in the last 30 years
