Okay, O.K, okay…..Followers Uwe and Winx love quirky OKAY! (and so do some of you!)
Here is a load of rips that Uwe sent over and I apologise for only just getting around to curating them. It all fits nicely with the 80’s stuff going on at the moment. Consider it an extended overdose of Silly Sunday Song-ness.
O.K. – The Wild, Wild Western (German Promo 2 x 12″)
A German homage to the Cowboy film and with some playful samples. Released in 1989 it has the very likeable and gentle “F.M. Bass Mix” mixed by David Barrett and Rod Gammons. With various mixes having a mix of German and English lyrics. Liking the drumless “Orchestrated Mix” best of all….Proper Soundtrack stuff. Also give the track “Once Upon A Time In The Wild, Wild Western….” mixed by Pete Lorimer and including 3 segued Western covers (not sure about the vocals) Remember Red Dead Redemption 2 is out at the moment !!

So a very rare Mini-Disc that includes some of the previous mixes but also the single / radio mix. Wish I could translate the German samples.

From 1990 and this odd bit of Europop starring the mysterious Valerie on lead vocals. Inventive and cheesy in the same listen and featuring predominant House Piano riff and and a French Nursery Rhyme!?! Track 3 and 4 are less toe curling.

OKAY Meets Valerie Vannobel – World Of Illusion (German Maxi 12″)
From 1991 and a proper House mix with a catchy vocal hook, sampled saxophone and some nod to Kraftwerk and Suzanne Vega. The “Nightmare” is a nice, deeper mix, the “techno” mix more synthpop.
