Dollar - C or D?

The Horn singles didn't come out on CD until a couple of years ago on the budget Platinum Collection compilation. Some non-single tracks from The Dollar Album included but the album itself has yet to debut on CD.

Simple answer:

Therese Bazaar was the brains of the outfit.

Not that brainy when it came to managers - Trevor wanted her to be the original singer in Art of Noise but her manager asked for too much money and she went off and cut a flop/possibly never released album for Atlantic.

true, but when they split, she went into advertising jingles, and he went into fashion modelling.

Remember being surprised it wasn't the other way around at the time.

(Lead sing AON wouldn't have ebeen much of a career either, tbf)

In fairness to her it was Arif Mardin who was the producer, who was hot at the time with the Scritti and Chaka Khan productions.

I'd quite like to hear that actually - she was interviewed about it in Blitz but I never actually saw the record in the shops.

Total classic to pick up next time you're in the charity shop - "Young Americans Talking," DVD's only solo single from 1983, gloriously OTT production by Andy Hill.

During the early 2000s Van Day operated a burger van in Brighton earning him the nickname "Burger Van Day"[13] Capitalizing on the attendant publicity, he released a download-only version of Throbbing Gristle's "Hamburger Lady", dedicated to Bazar.

Forthcoming 8 disc boxset (on Cherry Red!) is kinda insane but also awesome. There's also a more sensible 2-disc option.
