Rofo - can sombody put me straight please? no pun intended!

[phrankie]

Me again...

I always thought Rofo was "an Italian job", but when Loading Bay put out "Rofo's Theme" I seem to remember them claiming that the man behind the group came from the UK...but having since heard tracks such as "You've Got To Move..." and a couple of others, I am back to thinking that that isn't true...can someone tell me for sure please? Also, is there a Rofo "Best Of" CD available?

Thank you! :D

I was actually discussing this over the weekend with my pal "Sandra Dee".. We wondered if they were from the UK or Italian...I was under the impression they were a UK act, but...

That was probably his best production work - Samantha Gilles was one of my favourite HINRG artists - I have a few of her recordings in my collection. I have always wanted one of her Albums but they are difficult to track down - They only seemed to available in Japan - You do see them occassionally on e-bay but they always go for "big bucks"

When Rofo appeared on Top of The Pops Manchester DJ Mike Coppock AKA Big Bird played keyboard. I know he had something to do with its release here and perhaps remixed it?
