about

Recorded at Woodbine Studio - Leamington Spa in 1982 and produced by John Rivers. A trademark Laurels instrumental, this track was dedicated to Mantini's hairdressing emporium in their native Leicester. The proprietor, Paolo Mantini had a high profile career working with film stars and even Tina Turner. The Laurels availed themselves of free hairdos at the salon and this track was played at Paris fashion shows and featured at number one in a Music magazine independent chart ! It was the B side to the band's first WEA Records release Rodeo in September 1982.

Gaz Birtles: Bass synth - drum programming - vocals
John Barrow: Tenor saxophone - vocals
Mark O'Hara: Keyboards - vocals
Dean Sargent: Keyboards - vocals
