Footnote. Both Eleanor and Making Time were booked to do a Mod charity concert in the midlands back in the day. The midlands were Makin Times home turf yet they failed to show but Eleanor turned up and did gig. She also failed to disown her mod following when offered a major record deal. So more respect is due her. Maybe thats why she now has over 75,000 plays and ten of thousands of fans on her myspace. Enough said.

Your right she was no Fay Hallam. Much better looking than Fay for starters. Also I noted when It came to the Mod Aid single 'All or nothing' It was Eleanor who was chosen to do lead vocals along with Steve Marriott not Fay Hallam. Guess this says something. I was actually a big fan of Making Time and Fay and it may interested you to know they Eleanor and Fay both rated each other and had mutural respect for each other.

The 1995 track still sells everyday on 7" so still popular.

THe video was made in the infancy of pop videos and a number of technical problems and littles hitlers at certain locations where the video was yo be shot meant lots more of Eleanor just singing featured in one place was used than was supposed to. Little bit of insight there. It was proud to be mod though. The record as many have said is still a classic Mod single.

This video now Celebrates its 25th anniversary this years so should sound like a product of its time but to Mods that sound is still relevant.

I think the going rate for 7" at moment with condom & sticker and signed is about £20-£25.

i bought this when i saw her play at the wirrana centre in peterboro' at the national mod meet i think? 1985 or so. derwent was there with the rage as well. was her band the brothers called the wayout? they did some good tunes in their own right.

[kerbmonkey]

Didn't she do a track with the chorus 'will anyone survive to '95.. 1995...'!!!

The Mod revival pinup. Oh dear.... she was no Fay Hallam as a singer was she?

@darkdukeuk

Too true, I have this 7" tucked away somewhere, still got a classic sound... even if the vid leaves a bit to be desired. ;-)

The song starts sounding a bit dated but it still has nice listenable sound as the tune progresses.
