Vicious
Pink - Brian Moss and Josephine Warden hail from Leeds and emerged from the
vibrant local music scene in the early 1980's. The duo started as backing
vocalists for Soft Cell. The band's first guise was as Vicious Pink Phenomenon.
The band released two singles 'My Private Tokyo' on the Mobile Suit Corporation
(Phonogram) in 1982 and 'Je T'Aime' on Warehouse Records in 1983 resulting in a
major record deal with Parlophone Records. The band shortened their name and
went on to record with respected producer Tony Mansfield. The band released 4
singles with 'CCCan't You See' enjoying a 2nd release in 1985 after its
original release in 1984. The band enjoyed cult status rather than commercial
success. The band made music for the clubs and enjoyed widespread support on
dance-floors either side of the Atlantic. This seminal collection of the band's
work is a great example of the emerging electronic movement within the UK in
the early 1980's.

Some People |
| |
|
Released 20/04/09. Born Neville Keighley, Some released his first LP 'Some People' in 1985 and the title track was a club hit. Although Some's contribution to the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, "Round, Round," did not penetrate the mainstream, it introduced Some to an audience outside of discotheques. Produced by Bernard Edwards, "Round, Round" had enough electric guitars to seduce rock fans while maintaining the interest of the dance crowd with its pounding groove. ‘Imagination', a song from 'Some People', was reissued in 1986, peaking at number 17 on the U.K. pop charts. Both ‘Some People' and ‘Imagination' were remixed several times. In 1987, Some recorded his self-titled second album, but it failed to duplicate the success of his debut. Some then disappeared from the music scene, lost in an '80s "Where Are They Now?" file until 1993 when he released Living Your Life. Contains the top 20 hit ‘Imagination' |
