I first heard this song on the revived Juke Box Jury back in 1979 and decided that it would definitely be a ‘hit’. This song, along with the ‘No.1 Song in Heaven’ had heralded a new direction for the boys after they had decided to work with producer Georgio Moroder who (along with Sigue, Sigue, Spitnik, Donna Summer and Japan) was at the time producing some of the best dance music of the late seventies. Music that I was particularly keen on!
The ‘B’ side of this single had an ‘alternative mix’ of the song which was quite different and as with most of the hit singles in my collection it was rare that I turned them over and tried the other side, but Simon Bates (who was doing the Top 40 at the time) played the ‘B’ side one day during the Top 40 on a Sunday and as a result I flipped it over and listened to that version which I much preferred.
Although Sparks have given us some truly great numbers this was my introduction to them and the first Sparks record I bought and as such I offer it to you now…
Enjoy….
