Recorded in the early 1980's.
Personnel: Vaughn Toulouse (vocals); Mike Herbage, Mark Taylor (guitar, keyboards).
Audio Remixer: David Tickle.
Liner Note Author: James Nice.
With his Bowie-on-a-bender voice and Teddy Boy-gone-punk image, singer Vaughn Toulouse was a born rock star. Unfortunately the Department S frontman only got as far as a couple of minor early-1980s hits with his band, and died of AIDS in 1991. This anthology captures a young British band filtering everything from glam to James Bond scores through an arch New Wave/post-punk sensibility, turning out some moody, infectious, memorable tunes in the process.
