Does somebody remember ?
This was really good trashin´ late 70s disco waste
with much analogsynth, brass, whatever.
And the lead of the three female singers looked like
she was singing: scratchy ...

10 stars for Bamalama - Medley 8)
They also did "Black is Black" ...
Does somebody know them ?

Yep, I have most of their stuff on vinyl. "Miss Broadway" was great. Special, catchy and a few years ago it was even sampled by Pras from The Fugees (don't remember the title of that one anymore). They were cool for a short period coz their carreer didn't last long unfortunately. Check out:

And "Jump down" - 1979. IMO their 2nd best after "Miss Broadway" I will add it to the Vault later :)

My fave,
by this girly band is absolutely the b-side of the album Miss Broadway, the entire medley Disco sound,
this as to be their best , according to me of course,
DISCO SOUND/ BLACK IS BLACK/ WHY D'ONT YOU LAY DOWN 14:05

i love the way the first track starts, and then builds,

RU !

The team responsible for the Belle Epoque stuff also put out a 12" under the moniker Weyman Avenue in 1977. The ruff-sounding female vocalists are the same, too, so look out for "Key of Dreams".

Also the slow "you and me" from the a-side of the lp is a very good track
