comeback is imminent - see dr-scardo.tv for details.

@simonearly - well not exactly! It's true though that the new band will be performing some of the best of Big Bam Boo - and very exciting those songs sound too - Wicked Love in particular is guaranteed to lift the roof - watch that space!

WOW WOW, I was at Rutgers in early 90s when i got the CD free somehow and i loved loved loved this song! tragically i sold the CD b/c typical college student me needed fast cash and i've regretted it. how fab to find it on youtube, what a godsend. time for a comeback Simon

[simonscardanelli]

@fuzzysaunt great to hear from you! Thanks for posting and glad you like the music. Always a few CDs available from my website - though you'd probably find them cheaper on Ebay or Amazon! Cheers

Simon: A million years ago, my buddy Richard and I used to wear old suits and pompadours. Folks would ask us if we were in a band. After a while, we started lying, saying, "Yes, we're the Odells." When we saw/heard this song, we said, "Hey, that's what the Odells sound/look like." Thanks for being a part of my musical history.

@kenmottet - Hey thanks for the comment!

It's great to hear stories like that. I remember once we did a gig in (Newcastle maybe? Or the University of East Anglia....) and seeing two guys dressed like us standing at the bar, one wore glasses etc - Shark and I were very flattered - brings a smile to my face thinking about it! If you'd like a copy of my most recent album then e mail me your address and I'll mail you a copy for free - that goes for anyone one else who's commented here.

I LOVE THIS song and the album "Fun,Faith and Fairplay"!

One of the first CD singles I ever bought as I made the transition from vinyl/cassettes to CD. Still got it! Brings back lovely memories of being 16 :)

Funny how many people came across this band by accident. Between my friends and I there weren't many 80s bands that at least one of us hadn't heard of. This was one of them. I knew by the cassette cover artwork that it was 80s pop and you almost cant lose so I bought it. I think it was $2 at the discount clearance store. I always wondered where they had been originally. It wasn't any music store around here.

Simon, thank you so much for posting these videos! I've loved Fun Faith and Fairplay for years - it's a treasured favorite album of mine actually - and never knew there were vids for some of the songs until today. Ah, the memories!!!

One of my favourite songs, i still have the original 12" and worked out the chords and still sing and play this myself on guitar. If you do come back in the UK It would be great to hear Shooting from my heart live

Long time ago I bought this album on cassette for almost nothing and I forgot how good this song was... Thankfully I had a flash about that group, and youtube did the rest! ;)

[johnmcboston]

Thanks for sharing as well. I didn't know they had all these videos!! Got the CD on a lark and loved it all - but they never really got popular. And no one had ever heard of them. Glad to see so many fans!

this song stroke me when i saw it on MTV in 1989 and made me run to buy the LP. if someone would have told me that 21 years later i was going to watch it side by side with my daughter i would have called him nuts!

But this is life and this is a great song!
