Nov. Artist LP is Do-Ré-Mi; led by Deborah Conway (lead vocals) with Dorland Bray (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Helen Carter (bass, backing vocals) and Stephen Philip (guitars); this 2nd album was a big love in 1988. A fierce, distinctive band.

3️⃣ The Happiest Place in Town

The closest track to a ballad on the album yet something else; this gently mysterious ditty is beautifully melancholic in Deborah’s way; in a manner reminding me of my favourite Abba songs, oddly.
