OPM In & Out Of Love

Rob Harris says: "'In And Out Of Love' was released in 1983 on RAM Records. A tiny British label that ran between 1983 and 1985 with only 16 releases in its catalogue, half of which belong to UK Punks, The vibrators ('Baby, Baby' being their New York Dolls doing the Shangri-Las 1977 hit. I`ve no idea what they were doing in `84). A gated, growling, Electro-Funk, camp, sleazy sing along, created in a freak storm which crashed the Linn drum machine and blew up a TV. A track that could grind with Set The Tone`s 'Dance Sucker', Diggy Tal & The Numbers 'If It`s Love That You Want', and then 'Get A Little Love' from Angela. A track that as far as I know was gathering dust in countless bargain bins, lost, unappreciated, until Thomas Bullock used it as the finale to his Youtubed three-hour Just Jam master class in 2012. Post- Bullock all copies disappeared, a few resurfacing on the `Cogs this year for predictably silly prices. 'City Life' is one of the two releases on the Beau-Jolly label, dating from the following year. A handclapping, screaming, chase through breaking glass and slick `80s Pop videos. Uptown downtown. Red lipstick and white fur coats. Glamour, gangs, and boppers."
