-
- Actually, they have put out five albums that I know of. The first was in 1983
- which was called "Rhythm of Youth" and featured "Safety Dance" and another
- single "I Got the Message" which I have seen as a 12 Inch single.
-
- The followup was released in 1984 and it was called "Folk of the 80's Part III"
- There were no released songs from that album (at least here in the states).
-
- Then, they reformed in some different combination and released "Pop Goes the
- World" in 1987. This featured the title track and "Moonbeam" which was
- released as a video and a 12 inch single. Good video actually.
-
- After this, they released "The Adventures of Women and Men Living Without Hate
- in the 21st Century". This album was released in 1990 and contained a cover
- of ABBA's "S.O.S." and they also had another song called "You and Me" which
- was released somewhere (maybe in Canada).
-
- Last year, they released "Sideways" in Canada and Ihavent heard anything about
- this one. I know someone who has it but I havent had a chance to hear it yet.
-
- Anyway, there was my 2 cents worth....
