Someone Special - November 1

[scrumplemush]

Fab memories! I have the CD single in my collection - thought 'Running For Your Love" was a good track too.

I remember those days watching Novemeber 1 as they broke through playing gigs at Tudors and at the Middlesex and Herts Country Club back in the day. They should reform man! Junior

Got the tip-off from RF . . . . Memories. How cheesy was this??? Quite amusing to see Pete Waterman looking completely uninterested in a few shots during this video. Well, we had a laugh anyway.

Good effort Oscar and JF Bridge and yes, you are spot on - the issue we had was with BBLB flopping when it might have stood a chance of charting quite well. We were a very low priority act though, you could sense that.

@ftimings Felicity!!

Ah, well, there are things they don't tell you when you sign a big company record deal (like 95% of bands are there just to make the numbers up!) SS got to 99 in the charts, if I recall. Doing HM&H show was fun, even if it did mean being up all night!

The issue was actually with our 1st single (Big Boy Little Boy), which was a shame as it got 2 weeks of Radio 1 airplay and won record of the week. All water under the bridge now.

OMG! Thank you for uploading that.

Yes, we were somewhat obscure. Not surprising, given our record company forgot to actually send any records to the shops for our first single...

@oscarsnr

Happy to oblige! It should have got in the charts in '88 (how come the record company failed to distribute it?) ,but at least someone remembers it (me).
