Amazulu - 'Moonlight Romance' (at The Young Ones)

Buleke wrote (Oct. 2nd 2008): Hi all. I am the short-haired guitarist (...) My name is Margo. We recorded this in 1984. I played with Amazulu from 1982 -1986, when the group split in half and became a three piece, without the drummer, bass player and me. Glad y'all like the track.

Buleke wrote (Dec. 26th 2008):The album was 'Amazulu' released by Island Records in the UK. The track Moonlight Romance was originally released as both a single and an extended 12" version in about 1984. I think the album was licensed to Mango and Putumayo in the USA, probably deleted by now!

And on March 19, 2009: "I am no longer in contact with all of the original band so can't be completely sure. Of the other 3 with whom I am still in touch, one way or t'other we are all still playing. "

Hi all. I am the short-haired guitarist and its DEFINITELY not Basia. (My name is Margo, fyi). We recorded this in 1984. I played with Amazulu from 1982 -1986, when the group split in half and became a three piece, without the drummer, bass player and me. Glad y'all like the track.

@paddywishbone Sorry I don't know...I have it on a vhs tape, but have no means of transferring digitally. I'll have to look through my cassette (!) collection to see if I have a version good enough quality. I agree its better than the album version - 'produced' by Jerry Dammers (Specials), honestly I think we did a better job ourselves e.g. this one - I always preferred our demos to whatever the so-called producers that were foisted upon us did.

@bulkela Can we get this version from the BBC its so much better then the album version

Thanks for this. Love the song, hate the series. Can't believe I watched the whole thing. (what was I thinking? Hope I don't get possessed by bad dirty knickers, corn flakes, lentils and Neil! Alka Seltzer please
