Britt Ekland Do it to me



A nostalgic look back through the good, bad, weird and obscure in my record collection i thought when i started this blog.
This single could be categorised as any of those four descriptions.
Quite rare I'm told and i know of no-one else who has heard it. Do it to me (once more with feeling). What can she mean ?
Britt Ekland is a Swedish actress famed for her roles in the James Bond movie The man with the golden gun, Get Carter and (my personal favourite) The Wicker man.
But did you know she made a Disco Record in 1979?
Sounding a bit like Baccara (Yes sir, i can boogie) this sold about 4 copies in the UK and i have one of them on 12" of all things.
I have included the Gatefold inner picture for entertainment value only.


A Load of balls


There are certain people who should never really make records. Comedians, Politicians, X Factor contestants and of course footballers. But did you know that former Arsenal striker and England footballer Ian Wright made a record with the Pet Shop Boys ?

Well one of the Pet Shop Boys anyway (Chris Lowe)
It's not as bad as it all sounds.

In fact i thought it was OK at the time. I remember selling about about 10 copies, mostly to Pet Shop Boy Fans and the rest went to the type of person who bought footy records by the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, slightly nutty and obsessive people who still wore scarfs in the middle of summer.

It actually reached No 43(UK) in Aug 1993 and no-one remembers it. Or do they ?
