Never Looking Back Again (with bonus track) ... CD Trans/FTG, 1982. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet 80s groove from La Voyage – a group with a nice, lean sound – upbeat, but never too over the top! There's a bit more depth here than usual for an indie group of this nature – not just tracks aimed at the clubs, but some mellower soul numbers that almost feel like they're ... read more CD

Spirit's In It ... LP Philadelphia International, 1981. Very Good+ ... $2.99
Smooth early 80s work from Patti – a bit over the top at times, but nicely restrained at others.

The first album from Laid Back – the Danish duo who would soon dominate the world of breakdance with their electro-pop groove!
