    phrankie:

    if you like "Tarzan Boy" you'd be well advised to search out the album it appeared on. It's called, if I'm not mistaken, "Living in the Background" and has a WONderful ballad called "Pull the Wires". After I've had a couple beers I often try to sing it. But according to VH1, singer Baltimora died of AIDS several years ago. So sad.....

    Too many releases to mention, but loved:

    Lama - Love On The Rocks
    Phyllis Nelson - Don't Stop The Train
    Lorraine McKane - Let The Night Take The Blame
    Lisa - - Rocket To Your Heart

    and the fabulously camp Boney M - Young Free & Single AND....

    the even camper Fantastique - Mama Told Me. If anyone can find a 12" which is as much fun as this, I'll eat me jockstrap. ;)

    That sounds about right... It is quite rare and tends to go for big bucks.. I saw a copy in Manchester a few weeks ago going for £28.00
