2. No Love On the Run NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:
- Little if anything is known of Mayana (presumably Russian) who had a nice track in 1983 called "Skips A Beat" on the UK label Graffiti. It was later brought stateside as a promo 12" on Atlantic (DMD 681). Despite being a very good song it didn't seem to do much here in the US. I still recall buying this British import at Rock and Soul in New York for only $3.99 when it first came out.

Reader Comments on Mayana
with regards to the comments about MAYANA
she was from iceland and the record "SKIPS A BEAT"went to number 62 in the billboard dance charts,
i was writing the song and at the time MAYANA
and i were an item and i asked her to sing on the demo just to show the publisher the idea and the next thing you know is she was signed to a label "rialto"
MAYANA was a catwalk model at the time and was
5'9'' and hot, but unfortunately not the best of singers,
there was a follow up single SHAKIN' ALL OVER
a johnny kid and the pirates song but it never went anywhere, she eventually married a very wealthy banker and lives in london, and it was the begining of a string of pop dance songs i wrote for a lot of UK and US artists which you will find @
