Great act live and great album. I had the album on cassette until recently when I had a clear out, closed my eyes and donated all my old cassettes to a charity shop. Been looking for a CD / digital version for ages.<br /><br />I see a couple of tracks have finally popped up on Itunes. 'Carioca' is on 'Lounge Stories 3' and 'Me and Mr Sanchez' on 'The New Romantics'. You'd think in this digital ages they'd get round to re-releasing the complete album. It the meantime thanks for doing this.<br /><br />I read somewhere that some of the group went on to form <b>Matt Bianco</b>.
