76.0. "Brotherhood of man topic." by ECCGY4::HAIGH (Stagger Lee) Fri May 20 1988 17:28

	Hello everybody.

		Are there any more Brotherhood of Man fans out there? See what 
I'm after is the picture disk they made of the single Angelo, its the only 
record of theirs that I haven't got.
		Also if anybody's got a spare copy of the poster, in which they 
are all wearing motor bike leathers and Mike's got those strange sun glasses 
on, I would be grateful if I could buy it of them. The posters not for me, 
because although I think there music is brilliant I'm not really into the
commercial side of their setup.

		By the way some of my friends and I were talking about B.O.M. 
last night and somebody says that the second to last album (the name of which 
I cant remember at the moment) was really not up to their normal standard, I 
didn't really agree, but I listened to it later and it does seem more chart 
orientated than the others. Do you agree?

	Grateful for any help
			Steve.

	Steve, there is a conference devoted to the BOM type of Musak, you know stuff like Bucks Fizz, Baccara, Bay City Rollers, Showaddywaddy, St Winifreds School Choir, sigh I could go on for hours. Hit KP7 to select Doug.
76.2		SUBURB::DALLISON	If its too LOUD, you're too OLD	`Fri May 20 1988 18:06`	2
	Oh, I hit KP7 so quickly then I think I've broken it....

76.4		RDGENG::KEDMUNDS	$ no !fm2r, no comment	`Fri May 20 1988 18:39`	5
	Re .1: Hardly constructive... I'm not too keen on that Springboard chap, but I don't ridicule those who are (not too much, anyway!). Maybe I should lighten up; ignore me if I'm ott...
76.5		GYPSC::CHISHOLM	Dem Tambourines!	`Fri May 20 1988 18:51`	8
	re .4 .1 was entered with the (almost) certain knowledge that Stevie boy was extracting the michael in .0, I know he's into some pretty weird stuff, but not that weird. Own up Steve! Doug.
76.6	Bom	MUHIS::MCHEQUER	Infected with the seasons of change	`Sat May 21 1988 14:47`	8
	I'm not sure why you would think that .0 was taking the p. Bom have put out some good stuff, the picture disk of Angelo is now a rather valuable record. Sure Bom may not be part of the sub-cultural music scene, but their music is very listen'able' and it sells. Gru� Mark

	RE: .7 Mid-to-late seveties pop harmony group - came to fame via the Eurovision Song Contest. I don't believe they were considered to be top class pop. Class pop .... The Hollies ... now there was a pop band!!! David.
