    The Ultimate Warlord, by "The Immortals" very strange electric dance disco 12" from the 1980's, I have it on 12" disco mix, I believe it was something to do with a big pop star but I can't remember who.

      John Deacon, the bass player from Queen put together a group by this name to do the music for the film version of Biggles made in the mid 1980s.

        The Goombay Dance Band - Seven Tears, please tell me this was a one hit wonder and that I didn't miss out on numerous other fabulous tunes of theirs?!

          Seven Tears - bit more concentration on the production and we would be talking anthem level.

          The main thing wrong with the single was the cheesy picture of them all in fur coats!

                Great thanks.
                I got a mint copy of the 12" off the car boot for £2 - still love it, the sequel track "I shall return" os on youtube, pretty rare I imagine.
