APRIL MARCH - VOO DOO DOLL CDEP (KOKOPOP [KOKO 10 CD], 1993) [US]

April March - Voo Doo Doll CDEP
(Kokopop [KOKO 10 CD], 1993) [US]




It only makes sense that someone in the 90s would revive the whole 60s yé-yé girl movement, they were reviving everything else from the 60s. April March does just that on this CDEP (which contains 3 more tracks than the 7" vinyl) released on Kokopop from 1993. Kitschy novelty pop, I love the Robert Mitchum tune.

DEE WALKER - DIAL 'L' FOR LOVE LP (ARTS NETWORK [DEE 1], 1985) [UK]

Dee Walker - Dial 'L' For Love LP
(Arts Network [DEE 1], 1985) [UK]






Mid-80s mod-revivalist Dee Walker had some potential to be pretty huge. Styled after the sixties "girl" singers. From what I read she retired from the music business shortly after releasing this album which some (all?) of the songs were penned by Paul Bevoir.
