Hi All

Have been trawling through some cassette tapes from the 80s I recorded and found a Kenny Everett Radio 2 show from about 1982. This song was on it. I remember it, but have no idea which artist made it etc. Anyone able to id it?

Kenny only says that it is "one of the records you will hear in the better discos in town...."

lol

Any help would be appreciated

Wow - See I should know by now - Someone on here always knows! The only thing is, the recording must have been made in 1983....so he must have had an early copy (nothing new there!). But the following say the recording was done in 83:


He mentions 2 new films out - Flashdance and Twilight Zone - both out in 83.
If it was 84, it was Xmas, as the old Radio 2 "Seasons Greetings from Radio 2" jingle is played.
Channel 4s "Worst of Hollywood" is mentioned and I am sure that was 83.

But I await to be corrected!

Thanks so much for telling me - its been bugging me for ages!

Release date is definately 1984. Released in UK on I.R.S records, on the flip side to 'Don't Look Now'

Mystery no more

The original version (Prepare to Energize) was released in 1983

The remix was the 1984 b-side

Yes, the remix does come from 1984. But the version I first heard was this one - Torch Song - Prepare to Energise - SP 70412A ORBIT/MAYER 1983 IRS RECORDS INC - Thats the same one as the one I posted on Youtube. So thats that mystery solved then!
