Lola - Wax The Van (1987)

When digging through my records I came across this gem. I had no idea I owned this and had never seen or heard it before! But what a strange treat! Lola is soul singer Lola Blank, with assistance from 'mutant-disco' legends Arthur Russell (Loose Joints) and her husband Bob Blank (Aural Exciters). This track keeps up that mutant-disco vibe with a very odd yet horribly catchy club jam. They released two more tracks as Lola - "I Need More" and "Work It". I'm so glad I unearthed this unknown treasure in my collection!

Welcome!

Welcome to The Isle Of Deserted Pop Stars' Lost Pop Treasures. These gems found on the isle are obscure singles released by (mostly) obscure artists. Come dig in and help unearth these lost treasures... While the artists featured on the Isle Of Deserted Pop Stars were very fortunate to have a chance to record an album or two, there are others who didn't even get that chance. So here I will feature singles by artists that only recorded a single or two, as well as singles by artists who are featured on the Isle or may be in the future, and non-album singles. There may even be an obscure single by a more popular artist on occasion. Since there is little info on these artists and I don't have a lot of time, there won't be a lot of info on them here, as I try to provide on the Isle blog. The songs will have to speak for themselves! So please, come in and enjoy the excavation!

As always, you are encouraged to BUY the singles or songs if you can, as the quality will be better and you will hopefully be helping the artist. As far as I know, none of these singles are available any more, but if any artist or record company wishes me to remove their work, please let me know.
