Don't ask me why - given that my funds for buying records were restricted in those days - but I bought the Gabi Delgado solo album back in 1983 (?)
I think it might have been on one of those first-weeks-of-release Our Price discounts, 2.99 or even 1.99 jobs. The discount no doubt facilitated by the record company in hopes of getting it to enter the charts. That was a thing then, although more with 12 inch singles as I recall.
At any rate I took it back a week later and either made up some excuse and got a refund, or perhaps Ijust sold it on at the second hand place in Oxford, recouped some of the loss and applied to some other purchase. I can't remember
It wasn't very good - not a patch on the proper DAF albums I had taped off of Stubbs.
The Robert Gorl solo job (with Annie Lennox backing vocals) is better. Good hook.
But not much better...
Gabi again - watch out for the strobing video, if you suffer from epileptic tendencies
Ever so cute, but not a great dancer really.
No, they were much, much better together, DAF.
Love it to the Bohn (bum bum) (mein herz macht...)
And Morley of course was a big fan, wrote a few sex-pol orgasm-as-revolution paeans to them, in his homoeroticism-aspiring mode (see also paeans to Pete Murphy's lips, Kirk Brandon's ears, David Sylvian's being too fragile to fuck)
In a way, Propaganda was his consolation prize, or proxy - "this time, let's make it happen in the UK too".
