    "Build Me Up Buttercup" by Torch

    Did anyone play or dance to this? It's a good remake.

    I have this record. This was a promo from the Aloha days. I'm pretty sure this was recorded in SF. I think it was a dud. Don't recall selling any... Never heard it played anywhere.

    But I always liked the original song by The Foundations and latter, the amazing bluegrass version by Alison Krauss.

    I'll have to pull out Torch and see what it sounds like to my ears today.

    I used to spin at an Over 28's club when this song was out and I got good floor response from the punters when I played it in the land Downunder (Australia that is )

    I used to like it myself 'cause the original was'nt too bad either.

    regards Tony.

    If I am not mistaken, it was originally released on Disconet. Sometimes they would put one of their original tracks on a release for comment and prerelease. Does anybody else remember this????

    "Build Me Up Buttercup" was released as a Steve Algozino Mix (Vocal and Instrumental) on Hot Tracks and not on Disconet.

    This song was a big dance hit in the Philippines in 1983/84. I wish I had the song now. I only had the 45!!! LOL Anyone know where I could find it or if it's on any cd?
