 Would the Producer here (Tom Newman) be the same guy from the band July?

Don't be fooled by appearances here...

...Looks like a pretty standard 80s bimb-exploitation disc, like many a young poplet of the time might be coerced / "nudged" into producing - on the face of it, the pictures look like those "Top Of The Pops" albums which have become now, strangely collectible....

... but actually, once you play this disc, there are more than a couple of surprises in store...

...Firstly, not knowing what this was, and only buying because:

a) it was cheap,

and:

b) it was a picture disc (I'm strangely ompelled to buy them if I see them, no matter what it might be),

...I had no idea it was a very famous version of a very famous song, which has quite a history in and of itself: Iko Iko (Wikipedia)>

"Oooh... I know that one!" :)

And so, also realising that this was not some (to me) obscure German starlet, but a Scottish pop star of some little renown, I also, through listening to these other tracks here, realised she has actually a fair talent for writing songs too!

... But this leads to the major surpise:

This disc sounds incredible!

My innate distrust of any vinyl other than straight up black vinyl has been blown out of the water by this...

(Usually, I don't buy coloured vinyl of pic discs for sound quality - "If it ain't black, it stays in the rack!" :)

... Albeit the songs themselves won't reinvent the wheel, with what they are, the production team has made them sound amazing... This is seriously good production and pressing, proper audiophile stuff!

Just goes to show, it's worth taking a punt every now and then.

(Makes up for all the times I've got burned buying an unknown disc on spec :)
