Released in 86 in both 7" and 12" versions this one off release featured lead or ex lead singers of 60s groups, Mike Pender (Searchers)Tony Crane (Merseybeats)Brian Poole(Brian Poole & The Tremeloes)Reg Presley (Troggs) and Clem Curtis(Foundations) a video was even put together but the single sank without trace. Track originally done by The Showstoppers.

Fun identifying which singer does which part.

I bought this record, unheard, shortly after it came out (via mail order). I think now, as I did then, that it was very good. Lots of energy. Lots of synergy. If they had been able to afford to use a horn section instead of the synthesizer, that would have capped it off for me.

OK, did anybody else here actually buy the record?

I did David

could listen to this 50 times and still not associate it with any of the acts listed!
I hate the cheesy keyboards - the eighties has a lot to answer for!
I see the group is subtitled the Travelling wrinklies. Is this a mickey take on the Traveling wilburys? If so it must be later than 1986. Traveling Wilburys album was not released till October 1988.

I agree with you about the keyboards Rob. Budgets are budgets though I guess. They wanted a horn section but probably couldn't afford a horn section. A horn section would have capped it off wonderfully.

Yes, 1988 according to Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corpor ... Wrinklies)

You are correct Rob, my error it was 1988
