Synth-heavy new wave from a British duo comprised of musician James Harrington (real name John Hyde) and singer Liz Anderson. I couldn’t find any information on Liz Anderson (Discogs links to an almost-certainly unrelated American country singer), but Harrington was a reasonably prolific composer of library music for the well-known Amphonic and De Wolfe labels.
Bamboola also released a full LP with similar cover art that also included these two tracks. If I score a copy, I’ll be sure to rip and share it.
Technical Notes: Very light use of de-clicking on this one as it was quite pristine. The highs are slightly harsh/distorted, but the vinyl appears close to mint, so while it’s possible that it may have been played with a damaged or uncalibrated stylus I’m inclined to think it’s more just a mastering issue. Even mint 45s often seem to sound like crap, unfortunately.
