Oh.
Ready For The World - Oh Sheila (Special Double Pack)
Funny old record, this. A total Prince rip-off with intermittent Dick Van Dyke fake-English accented spoken bits. I like it.
I picked this double 12” ('At a single price') in the mid-00s from a chazza in Harborne in Birmingham for 49p. It has more mixes of Oh Sheila than one could ever need, none better than the original mix, plus a dreary ballad, Slide Over (ew!) and the mid-tempo meh-fest, I’m The One Who Loves You. The gatefold sleeve, has a photo of the band looking a right bunch of Bobby Dazzlers, against a smoky backdrop, which makes it look like they had the photo taken by the bloke who usually does schools, although they have added a grey cloudy border and, across the lower right, the legend ‘Like they always say...here we go!’ That’s really quite the observation.
