It's a shame you didn't ask this question a couple of months or
so ago as I remember the very same question being asked in the letters
page of one of the music press. It gave a full description of who
was doing what etc but being my usual helpful self...I forgot what
was said.
The reason I remember that particular piece though was because I
had been looking for 'Colossal Youth' for yonks before never found
it, but then, one day, through a strange mist, in a dimly lit record
outlet (it was an HMV actually) I saw it, and pounced. Then that
same weekend I was browsing through the music press and lo and behold
there was an article on the self same band.
Co-incidence or what eh!!!!
Tommy.

Argh! Call it bad timing. I just discovered this NOTES file a
week or so ago, otherwise I would have posted the request for info
much earlier. (I posted the question to RECORDS Notes over a year
ago with no news.)
No chance that you might recall what music press magazine this info
was in? It might give me a better chance of tracking it down.
Thanks for the word though. My own worst guess is that they've all
quit the music business and are currently residing somewhere in the
suburbs.

Coincidence yet again. I had a very bad recording of Collossal Youth
and had thought it would be almost impossible to pick up a copy.
But lo and behold, as I was browsing in Virgin in Ayr at the weekend
I spotted a prostine copy of this classic. An excellent addition
to my collection. Better late than never I say.
As for the article on all the members; this was a question answered
on the Fred Dellar page in NME a couple of months back. If my memory
serves me right the guys were talking of bringing a single out under
the original name. Here's hoping you can trace a copy.

| 99.4 | Where's Alison Statton | CHEST::LAVIN | | Fri Aug 23 1991 09:54 | 19 |
| Hello there,
The people who sent the previous notes may not still be out there after
all this time, but I'm new to this conference and have picked up on
this subject.
I would like to know where Alison Statton has gone to, I very much
enjoyed her music, particularly all the Weekend stuff.
Didn't some of Weekend begat Working Week - whose music is sometimes
excellent but often variable.
On another interesting note, we have a sort of "progressive" maternity
ward in our area, and they encourage people to record music for
childbirth. My daughter was born to various bits of music including
Weekend's "Drumbeat for baby". Anyone have any more ideas of what to
enter the World to the beat of?
Regards, Barry

How about "Push It" by Salt n' Pepa

Re .5
Maybe you could have a Salt 'n' Peppa track for every step from
conception on...
For anyone who doesn't know, their new single is called...
Let's talk about sex.

I used to play "Colossal Youth" non-stop about 10 years ago. It's a
brilliant album and I'd love to find it again. I suppose I'll have to
check that it's still available (although I doubt it).
FWIW the tracks I liked most are "Salad Days", "Wurlitzer Jukebox" and
"Searching for Mr. Right".

Along with former Ludus (?) member Ian Devine, she has formed
Devine & Statton, which have released at least two albums on
Brussels-based label Les Disques Du Cr�puscule. Enjoyable
smooth pop in the YMG/Weekend style, however with more synthesizers.

| Christophe beats me to it once again.
I was at college in Cardiff, and we constantly ended up at the same
parties as the Moxham crew. Alison came and went. Phil played with
Weekend, then EBTG, then went back to Cardiff. Stuart had the Gist.
Alison worked very briefly with Bomb and Dagger with Spike and Debbie,
until they split up.
