BAD BOYS BLUE - COME BACK AND STAY ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back... A few posts back I mentioned about a tape that got cooked in my tapedeck after leaving it in the sun, one of the songs on this tape was Tracy Spencer, an amazing Italo disco song that I just love....
I have found another song from this tape....Must thank Radio Polskie - 80s & Italo disco for playing "Bad Boy Blue - Come Back and Stay".
All I could remember from this song was the flute sound (similar to the koo de tah band) and the "Oh Baby" in the middle of the song and that it was released around 1987.
Turns out, that in 2009 they re-released this song with a more punchy dance beat and synth riffs (how did i miss this? )... Was I asleep? ... This is an excellent song. Enjoy

Sadly the one of the original singers in 1987 ( Trevor Taylor ) died of a heart attack in 2008 in Germany

Also original backup singer in 2009 ( Andrew Thomas ) also died in Germany 

Only one original member of Bad Boy Blue remains ( John McInerney )

Hello and welcome back... Sounding way ahead of its time, this song by the Italian synth band "Koto" was released in 1989-90.

Soon after "Koto" released the song Mind Machine with full on synths, a kick arse drum machine and... A man machine.

Greg was the flute player but also played synths,sax and occasional vocals.

KOO DE TAH - body talk ( Classic 12 Inches )

Hello and welcome back....Possibly one of my most favourite bands of the 80s and it just got better with this song.
"Body Talk" came out in 1986 of the "Koo De Tah" self titled album.
Love how certain 12" versions keep to the song but changes it slightly for the better, this is one of those songs (some just sound the same as the original song, but longer).. Enjoy.

TIFFANY - think we're alone now (Classic 12 Inches)

Hello and welcome back...Brilliant song that I never get sick of listening to. This song came out in 1987 and went straight to no1 on the music charts.
Love how this 12" version seems to bring out the synths a bit more as the bass is pumping and even has the occasional cricket noise.... Now, I'm in heaven.
