[ a non-commercial project ]

In this section I present covers for some of my favorite vinyl recordings digitized on the pc by myself. I love to work with photographs and pictures. The opportunity to create something new and different is exciting and I like this kind of work. So you will hopefully enjoy the results as much as I do.

If I had to make my choice amongst all of my vinyl records, in order to take 10 of them with me on an lonesome island, this is certainly one of them!
I have heard such an intense and devotedly manner of singing extremely seldom, and if it happened, it has been a woman in the very most of the cases. The top position of all these experiences is held still since many years by Mrs. Bette Bright [Anne Martin]. Originally singer with the band 'Deaf School' at the end of the 70's. She went solo and recorded this fantastic album in 1981 with the Illuminations, that had been the former members of 'Deaf School' and, later turned into 'Clive Langer and the Boxes'. Their debut single in 1978 was a outstanding cover version of the 1963 Angels' hit 'My Boyfriend's Back'. She also has done some work with the Dutch band 'Gruppo Sportivo' and is to be heard at least on 6 songs of their album 'Copy Copy', it was released in 1980 on the Ariola label. Mrs. Bright met the 'Madness' vocalist Suggs, fell in love with him and married in 1982. Unforunately she has retired from record business since then.
