King - Love & Pride (Extended 12” Mix) 12”

Its Saturday morning/afternoon and it’s one hit wonders King with their mullet influenced rendition of Love & Pride. Hated by many for the visuals King portrayed with their ridiculous hair and clothing style, you still can’t knock it for being weirdly good to dance too.

"Love & Pride" is the debut single by Coventry band King, produced by Richard James Burgess and featured on the band's first studio album Steps in Time. The single was first released in April 1984 but was not a success, spending only three weeks on the UK Singles Chart and reaching a lowly No. 84.[1] However, after the group performed the song on Saturday morning television at the end of 1984, CBS Records re-released it and it became a big hit. "Love & Pride" hit No. 2 on the UK chart in February 1985, remaining there for three consecutive weeks and only being held from the top spot by "I Know Him So Well", the duet by Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson.
