What exactly was the connection betwen 'Telephone Thing' and some track by Coldcut and Lisa Stansfield? Can never remember the whole story.

Lisa did it originally, I think, but Coldcut and/or MES thought it could be redone better

Coldcut produced (only the one track) 'Telephone Thing' on the Extricate album. Best use of Wah-pedal. Ever.

Which song is by R Dean Taylor, the greatest Northern Soul artist I have never heard of? This board is going to vanish before the answer comes I fear.

the answer is: "gotta see jane" and "there's a ghost in my house"

also, isn't this cute?

Coldcut had a great early-Coldcut-style single called My Telephone, then they had a cheesy pop-diva album track of the same title with some of the same bits of music, then they had a grumbly Fall production job with some of the same bits of music
