  • Never heard this one before. I'm kind of surprised that I never heard of it when I was really into the Shop Assistants in the late 80s. Thanks! Both tracks sound more Pastelsy to me, especially the second, as spekkie12 points out. Maybe it's just aggi's voice.

  • Something To Do is their best song (in my humble opinion!) it reminds me of Buddy Holly for some reason :)

  • Another find from Andrew077, great song, great post, great job!

  • Indeed. The first song has a shop assistants sound, the second one has a pastels sound. But that's just my opinion of course ;)

  • I think this is what they were called and then they became separately the pastels and the shop assistants. Its david keegan (shop assistants) on guitar and aggi (pastels) singing. Bliss

  • I seem to remember being aware at the time that there had been a previous incarnation as Buba and the shop assistants but had forgotten until now. Good to hear this for the first time.
