CURIOSITY Hang On In There Baby (1992)

Another one off topic. CURIOSITY f.k.a. CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT with a brilliant cover version of Johnny Bristol's "Hang On In There Baby".
I like both versions but CURIOSITY did a fuckin' good job here. Probably their best single, even I really like their first long player. (To be posted here as well one day.)

JOHNNY HATES JAZZ Turn Back The Clock (1987)

 

 

OK, a bit off topic, as this is NOT INDIE at all... It's simply wonderful mainstream pop and made my days back in the 80s.

I still love the singles and my preferred local radio station plays them frequently - just like a few minutes ago.

CHILDHOOD Universal High (2017)

Today I stumbled over CHILDHOOD by pure accident and it got me in a minute.
Good god... The voice reminds me of young Paddy McAloon, the music is in parts as well Prefab Sprout, The Dream Academy and Funk influenced Northern Soul.
I hear Paul Weller, Lenny Kravitz, The James Taylor Quartet... Brilliant!

"Universal High" is the second long player from the boys from Nottingham and I just mailed them to get their permission to offer something as a download. So stay tuned.
I will keep you updated here.

I know, a lot of you waited very patiently and now it's time for your reward.
I already wrote a bit about the album in an earlier post.
The album is calm and very emotional. Stories being told and full of love.
I took the cover picture in February this year. No photo shopping or else. Just cropping and labeling. The colours are like the cold winter morning actually was.
