Aston Villa and Duran Duran?

[TonyD]

At their time they were pretty good.  I blame it on Rio.

I always liked 'Save a prayer'.
Lovely to know they are Villa fans.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret remains one of my top 30 albums of all time by the way, it's a work of genius.

True and as good as it is, it doesn't come close to the Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go 12" mix. Dave Ball, as you say, is a genius.

A mate of mine was the DJ that played the northern version of Tainted Love in the Warehouse mentioned in that article. I knew the story about the royalties, Ed Cobb must have loved the cheques turning up every week. He also wrote Every Little Bit Hurts which combined with Tainted Love probably set him up for life. Not bad for half an hours work.
