Here were the clues:
- Band from Coventry
- Lead singer left to be a presenter on the young MTV
- Second 'difficult' album.
I felt I should follow this band when they came out with the hit, 'Love and Pride', as I lived near Coventry and my favourite radio station at the time. Mercia Sound, were promoting them. I also entered and won a competition on Mercia Sound around this time and received a vinyl promo copy of a 'Bangles' album...
Anyway, listening to this now, I really rather like it - especially 'Alone Without You' - the biggest single and 'Sugar Candy Mountain Buddhas'.
Oh yes, just getting the links from YouTube reminded of the King trademark - spray painted Dr. Martin's boots!
The digitising process appeared to be going well until I played the files back. It turns out that the four-track tape deck also mixes in sounds through its integrated microphone - even though it is switched off! So at the beginning of the first track you can hear my telephone ringing! I couldn't be bothered to do it again...it's like history of the process I suppose.
I also got the process for making the MP3s sorted and transferred a couple of tracks to iTunes.
On to the next!!
