The Zummos - An Obsession (Over You) (1985)

I just did a post on the Zummos on The Isle Of Deserted Pop Stars, so head over there for more info.  All I need to say here is that this was their only single, a fun dance-pop number, and it was David Morales' first major remix.  Enjoy!

Adele Bertei - When It's Over (1985)

I featured Adele Bertei's one solo album from 1988 on the Isle Of Deserted Pop Stars some time ago. Before she moved into that adult contemporary sound, she released a couple of solo dance singles. She released the Thomas Dolby produced "Build A Bridge" in 1983, and this was her follow up. It was produced in part by David Gamson and Fred Maher of popular Brit new wave group Scritti Politti and also features vocals by their frontman Green Gartside, so it sounds a lot like a Scritti Politti track. She would go on to do featured vocals on dance hits by Jellybean and Arthur Baker, and also explore other musical avenues.

PAL - Talk We Don't (1985)

PAL were signed to Motown and this was apparently their only single. It seems Motown was looking for something a little different than their typical soul & R&B at the time, and this song has a more poppy, new wave edge to it (to me it sounds similar to Mai Tai or Say When?, whose "Boys" I posted here earlier). They managed to release an album as well, Truth For The Moment, but it appears neither went anywhere. The remixes are by popular 80s duo John Morales and Sergio Munzibai.

Here is a live performance of the song.
