The Dream Academy - Please Please Please (12'')

The Dream Academy covered “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” in 1984 (originally by The Smiths). This version peaked at #83 in the UK Singles Chart. The instrumental version of the song is the better known cover version, since it was used in the film Ferris Bueller’s "Day Off"  along with an other Dream Academy song “The Edge of Forever”. A similar (but vocal) single later appeared on the compilation album, Somewhere in the Sun… Best of the Dream Academy.

Dance Classics 12": David Joseph - You Can't Hide (Your Love From Me)

I wanna start this Dance Classics 12"s with one of the best tracks of 1983. It can be heard on Greg Wilson's first DJ appearance on British TV (watch here). If some of you want to hear Larry Levan's versions of this great track leave a comment, I have that too.
David Joseph was the lead singer with Hi-Tension, one of the most successful Brit-Funk bands of the late 70s / early 80s, and “You Can’t Hide (Your Love From Me)” was his debut solo release and become a huge dance hit in the UK, reaching the Top 20 of the national chart, whilst subsequently finding favor with US DJs, thanks to Larry Levan’s remix.

Northside - Shall We Take A Trip / Moody Places (12'')

Cool as Ice: The Be Music Productions

VA - Cool as Ice: The Be Music Productions (2003, LTM)

One of the forgotten chapters in the story of New Order involves the group members' outside production work during the early '80s. In different combinations -- often including all-important input from A Certain Ratio drummer Donald Johnson (as Dojo) -- Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner produced a slew of releases under the name Be Music, most of which were released through Factory. This compilation is built around the more club-oriented productions, many of which have held up remarkably well throughout the years, despite the fact that they've been heard by a crowd far too small in number.

A unique idea - a compilation of all the original psychobilly/rockabilly bands that Morrissey's unique backing group have ever played in. Henceforth, you get The Polecats (Boz Boorer) The Frantic Flintstones, The Gazmen, the Sharks and the Nitros (Gary Day) Alain Whyte (The Sharks, Johnny Panic) and The Stingrays (Johnny Bridgewood). 

Boz Boorer - was in the brilliant rockabilly band The Polecats, but could often be found playing live with The Deltas and The Frantix

Gary Day - On the rockin' scene, Gary Day played on and off with The Frantic Flintstones, The Sharks and The Nitros (who often recorded as Colbert Hamilton's backing group). He also recorded with The Gazmen, which was basically The Sharks with the addition of Morrissey's guitarist, Alain Whyte.
Alain Whyte - long time Moz collaberator and guitarist who was in a few obscure rockabilly bands before teaming up with The Sharks to record as The Gazmen, and then went on to play in and produce Johnny Panic and The Bible Of Dreams.
Johnny Bridgewood - one time Morrissey bassist came from the psycho/garage band, The Stingrays.
