INCOGNITO - PARISIENNE GIRL 7"- 1980 - ENSIGN

The second feature on our Great Britain not Rubbish Britain segment is the Incognito track - Parisienne girl.

This was their first ever release - I think, and it features on their first album Jazz Funk released the following year.

One of the fore fathers of the whole acid jazz movement, Bluey and co are still doing their thing till this day and have more band members than I've had cold breakfasts - including Jocelyn Brown

THE FUN BOY THREE - THE LUNATICS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ASYLUM (7" SINGLE) FAITH HOPE AND CHARITY - 1981 (CHRYSALIS)

With all the issues we are currently having in the UK- political turmoil, unemployment, a new series of Big Brother; I have decided to create a new section that reminds us why this country was once and still is Great Britain - at least musically.

We start the series with the classic Fun Boy Three track - Faith, Hope and Charity one for you and one for me - a typical Fun Boy three track - jungle drums, choir singers and more jungle drums with a bit of the quirkiness from their days in The Specials

Can't fail with this one - A UK CLASSIC
