Ok this is how it went. 10 years back I was given a cassette of dynamite poptastic ditties that I was led to believe were by a Swedish band called SATOR. A crackin Wildhearts-esque band Ive since bought a few bits by. However, several tracks off this long since chewed up ferric home taped cassette have illuded me. I am sure there is a Scandinavian connection though.
The reason for this has become clear in recent months. Not all the tracks on the cassette where by the one band DOH!
This is where those of you with enormous record collections come in.
Dunno the name of the track, Dunno the name of the band, although Connie Bloom recently suggested that it maybe Fallen Angels.
Andy FA has sent me shed loads of them and it aint amongst the tracks so far. Ok, the track is about some guys chick walking out on him leaving him "washing up and bills to pay" but he later sings "she will be back some time today.. my lttle runaway"
There is a cracking sax solo in the track that does lend some credence to the Hanoi connection. It does sound uncannily like a Mike Monroe sax break.
So there you go. get ya thinking caps on.
Maybe I can get some sleep at last. Id love to track this song down.

Hmm. Don't think it's the Fallen Angels, the lyrics don't ring a bell.

Yeah, got Headquake. The stand out track on that album is called "I wanna go home" Anyone who has ever had the bitter sweet experience of hard touring will understand every line of that beauty. It was also on my original TDK cassette and the reason I thought it was all Sator.
I spoke to Chip, Sator guitarist, not two months ago and he was the one who disappointed me by telling me that the song I was after was not them.

Hi there, I think you might be talking about a track by Sam Yaffa (ex Hanoi) and Pelle Almgren called "Lonely in Love." It's a rocking track. I sadly don't have a copy of it any more, but there are still a few vinyl copies around, I found one a few years ago as a present for a friend. Have been trying to rack my brains to remember the lyrics or find them on the web but no luck so far. It's on an EP they did in 1986.

I just had a brainwave. After some intense concetration, I remembered the copy I bought online was from Hippy Shake Records in Finland, I checked online and they've got a copy:

There were some more Fallen Angels albums which followed but with different line-up's. Unfortunatly I don't have any of 'em.
Also there was one song missing from the Hanoi/Fallen Angels sessions, a b-side from the 7" single, 'Inner Planet Love'. So could be the one???? Maybe someone has it? If so send it to me please!

I can smell we are getting near. The Sam Yaffa connection keeps coming up again and again. As I remember the cassette I had said "Blue for you" or possibly "Blue for Two"on it with marker. At the time I had assumed this was the Sator album title. However, when I mentioned the track "I wanna go home" a friend of mine quickly produced the Headquake album with said track on it. I had then gone on to assume that the tape was a compliation of Sator tracks rather than a specific album. Chip from Sator has deined all knowledge, although mentioned Sam Yaffa again.
Maybe it is a Scandi-rock compilation. if I track this down , Ill post it on the site cos it is a diamond of a track.

Sorry can't be of more help. Intrigued now as to what it actually is????
May 17th, 2005, 02:16 PM

Driving me nuts too. Wish Id never mentioned it!!
However, bits of lyrics that come to mind.
The song has a bit of a Dont You Ever Leave Me, Hanoi vibe about it. The guy sings.

"It took me quite a while to figure out, that she had left me, and now without doubt, it is perfectly clear that she has moved out of here for good. She must have gone while I was away, she left me washing up and bills to pay"

Then the pre chours kicks in with a line something like...
"But its become an institution of her leaving me this way.... so she,ll be back sometime today.. My little ruanway."

Ill name that tune in 80

Yes, it?s definetly Sam Yaffa?s and Pelle Almgren?s song "Lonely in Love" from their EP in 1986.
I have that on vinyl, and it?s also in the 4CD Hanoi Rocks box that came out in Finland few years ago.

Great song, indeed!

Sometime in the near future (maybe next week already) when I get my new computer AND learn how to use it, I can make mp3 of that song and send it to you, if nobody had done that before it.
May 18th, 2005, 08:46 PM
andy69

Yes Job done! Can I have a MP3 of it please when it turns up.
May 18th, 2005, 08:52 PM

I must of waited 15 years to track down The Babysitters video. Then it was Buttz who helped with that one in the end.

Still there's no sign of the Babysitter's single surfacing... 'Shout / The Bathroom song'. I have a review of the said item from an old Kerrang! mag. There were pressings of it I am informed but they never saw the light of day. Unless You know different?????

Fading ways Finland, May the heavens rain sweet meats down upon you, may the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman. Boomshanka!
Job Done...And it only took three days.! The power of technology eh. 8 F**kin years I have been trying to work that one out.
Dont suppose anyone has an MP3 of it?
Thought not.
Also big thanks to Andy FA and Secret Squirrel... sorry, secret sidekick. I had one of those once. It would never start in the wet.

Thanks again to everyone who helped solve the Lost track conundrum. Chuffed as a pig in shite am I!
Does anyone have the Last of the Teenage Idols album, cover by Zell I think, Song for absent friends. Shes got big boots on. Think it might be on Demon records. Andy FA, you are the all knowing sage on this subject.
