Sorry, I just expanded the bio you wrote for Barbara, and you mention she was in 100% Pure Poison. Is that the same group that record Windy C and Puppet On A Chain? There are female vocals on No More City No More Country, was that her singing the scat vocals?
Nice cut! I only got her Midnight Ride LP, but this one I might have to check out too.
I didn't realize that you were also the same Ian Levine who was on all those Doctor Who documentaries! I've been a fan of DW since I discovered it as a kid during the Tom Baker years. So not only do I have you to thank for the great music you've made, but also for taking the time to restore so many lost DW stories. What do you think of the new series? I like Tennant, but Pertwee and Baker were my faves.
My First Time Seeing This Video...WOW!!! I Have To Admit That I Love The New Version By Fay Jones On "Yesterday & Tomorrow:The Ian Levine Songbook" Even More!!! But This Version Is Also Great!!!
Hi, I'm Søren from Denmark. I hope that people who like this music will join up to receive "Reaching For The Best - The IAN LEVINE Newsletter". I'm doing a regular e-mail newsletter for people who are fans of Ian Levine's music, just like myself. If you too are a genuine fan of his productions, and you love seeing these videos, then send me a message with your e-mail address and I'll add you to the list. It's all free, it's with Ian's full co-operation, so please join in!
This has to be one of the classiest dance/soul tracks of the 80's.. This was Ian and Record Shack at their finest. This lady should have gone on to become a major star...
Thank you for posting this-I really enjoyed it- and your work..My favorite song of the genre is "24 hours a day" -and I wore out my copy of Eastbound Expressway. A question -if I may;
finding (legal) mp3 downloads of classic disco material (such as yours) is hard to find- is that due to legal intanglements? Do you forsee any industry wide effort to make this classic vinyl material available again for sale in mp3 format?
And thanks to you -for providing us with so many hours of enjoyment...
All my old stuff is available for legal download from a company called One Media, who have a deal on my entire old catalogue. You should be able to find the stuff, but if you can't, then message me and I'll get you more information.
That jazzy & doowop theme was a popular ingredient around that time like Julia & Company with "Breakin' Down ( Sugar Samba )" , Manhattan Transfer with "Sice Of Life " , Elbow Bone & The Racketeers with " Take Me For A Night To New York " , etc ...
If you liked Elbow Bones, check out the video for Carolyn Crawford "Timeless". It should be right up your street. Also The Elgins "Take The Train", which was a homage to Doctor Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.
Love this ladies voice. This song has always been a favorite of mine.

No - Danny Leake was in 100% Pure Poison, and he found Barbara for us to produce.

Whoops! My bad! Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks again for bringing these great vocal talents to record.

Yeah , this was a major track in the UK .
