I DO remember the single - brilliant - and I bet Alison Goldfrapp is probably old enough to remember this too!

I also loved the follow up which I bought for 10p as an ex-Jukebox record, Imagine Me, Imagine You.

Great that female singers didn't really smile then. I like La Roux today for that very reason. Notice how she has Bowie's 1974 haircut out on loan?

oh, she really was. noosha. lovely, mannered voice (i remember thinking she was a female brian ferry - ha!)- 'single bed' & 'imagine me, imagine you' (title? correct? who cares?): great pop tunes.

fakinell, i had a paper round when they released those songs. where'd the time go?

edit: "single bed, single bed, ain't no room for your sweet head"
does that make this tediously bowie-specific fer all you tediously bowie-specific cnuts?

I had a paper round in '75 too, lol. I remember Xmas 'compliments of the season' tips as well - I got 9 quid! The things you could get then for £9.00!! First on the list was the bleedin' Bohemian Rhapsody single and a pair of patch-pocket 'bags' trousers with three buttons on the waist band.
Some 'wedges' rounded them off nicely, lol!

but I had a sunday round - you know the big papers with the supplements and no 'double time' for the trouble. No wonder I've got back trouble now and walk like a c**t.

tino wink.gif i had a morning, sunday & evening round back then...such a money-grubbing capitalist, i was. shortly after, i graduated from paper-boy to 'f-f-f-fetch yer cloth, granville'. then i was really quids-in. instead of singles, i started buying albums...much of my collection of early-mid 70s vinyl dates from that period. i bought loads of lps. nice.

edit: so what?

I've got the second Fox album, Tales of Illusion on vinyl. Loved the Strange Ships singls but the album version has a strange extended mix with a male vocal in the middle. Doesn't work for me!

When you see the founder members:

Noosha Fox (real name Susan Traynor)
Kenny Young
Herbie Armstrong
Jim Gannon
Pete Solley
Gary Taylor
Jim Frank

There were actually a lot of famous 70s session musicians. Young also composed the song "Under the Boardwalk" for The Drifters in 1964



There's no Smoke without fire.

Indeed and Fox morphed, via Kenny Young, into Yellow Dog who were excellent.

And Kenny Young is still going strong, most recently producing the Rhythms del Mundo albums.

I've sen that album cover before. I just assumed it was going to be some hippy flimsy rubbish. I guess you can't judge an album by it's cover.

"And Kenny Young is still going strong, most recently producing the Rhythms del Mundo albums." really? ha goes to show thw guy has taste.
