Love Games - top tune
Was down in Devon recently and a yoot put it on a pub jukebox
Roll back the years to Mr King on bass, all wedged up blonde barnets and playing up with the lads - happy days
Starchild is worth a listen too

id rather shit in my hands and clap that listen to these guys, ever again±!
There were so many better bands at the time and also who's music stands the test of time in that era than this bland white soul boy stuff
Freez- Southern Freez being a good example

Yes Swiss, as I said too, the American Jazz/funk/soul of that era was different class!
Rare groove was just as turgid though.

I liked them. I bit poppy I guess. Was a big funk fan in the 80s. But like said the stuff coming from the US was so much better.
I was lucky to see Defunkt live at the Venue New Cross. No you're talking.

First band I saw live, in 1986 when I was 15. Great live act and Mark King superb front man. Lovegames, Hot Water, Living it up (when the sun goes down) & Something about You should be right up there in great 80’s stuff.

All the 80s US soul and Jazz fusion and acid jazz and rare groove and funk was infinitely better. Even Chicago house was better.

I got into them with the first album and then the Early Tapes in 1981. Some of the early stuff up to Standing in the Light is really good. I like the commercial era they had too, but the 80-83 period really stands out for me.
Love Meeting Love, If Paradise Is Free and Why Are You Leaving especially bring back good memories.

Acid Jazz was a lot more fun...and genuinely cooler
Level 42 had that vibe on the debut album but quickly lost it

May not be a classic band, but ah happy memories. Gals from Essex particularly liked them as I recall (Sharon et al)
But come on - Cortinas and Capris with furry dice and grandad shirts.
Ah happy memories YES,
classic music - NOT

They were decent up to and including World Machine. And that's all I have to say about that.
