Love and Kisses: Bap, Bap (Rare Costandinos Track)

[Jimmy-Michaels]

Ok, I posted once about this a while ago and got no responce, so i'll try again lol. Quite a few months ago I came accross a track on an mp3 server credited to Love And Kisses and the track is called "Bap Bap". It is clear it's Costandinos work circa 1980/81. Includes the Bad News Travels Fast guy with one of the regular ladies of Alec on lead vocals and has the BNTF sound combined with what was to come in the "Americana" track. Now, I know there were no more under the name Love And Kisses for Alec after the 1979 LP "You Must Be Love". There are 2 BNTF LP's and I have em both and it's not on either of those so that ruels out the posibility of it being BNTF. Could it be this was one last shot under Love And Kisses that's so rare it's unknown and undocumented?? It even has the deep voice used in "Thank God It's Friday" and "Ooh La La La La". Someone here has got to know something about this? If needed I'll see if I can find a way to post a sample of it. Someone please help with this cause it's been driving me up a wall for months now lol

Hi Jimmy,

I did a little search on the web, and found the record in question appears to be the B side of a 7" single by Love and Kisses called "Right here in my world". It's on sale in GEMM with a catalogue number of "AZ1942" - I wonder which record label?

WOW, expensive for a 45..damn thing must be ultra ultra rare. Non the less im going to have to get it sometime for my Alec Costandinos collection. Don't know the A side..now need to find out if there is one more Love And Kisses LP that's been never documented. Just when ya think ya know all of Alec's stuff..more pops out of the vaults. I even heard he produced a rap song in 1982 for John Simms under some alias before going to French cartoon music, this is one I gotta hear also. Thanks for the info Darren! Also, checked MSN just now and your not on, im off to bed now, tomorrow night if your around we can meet up and see if we can figure out our dilema.
