In the early 80's this english cat " Smiley Culture" had this incredible song out called " Police Officer". I finally found the song on a compilation lp at Tower Records,but my question is do any of youse know if Smiley Culture every put out a full length lp and if he did? What was the name of any of his albums.
Good lookin' out...
Peace

Re: SMILEY CULTURE " Police Officer"
Smiley Culture dropped several releases through Fashion records and Polydor on the success of Cockney Translation and Police Officer, I've heard rumours of a lp called Schooltime Cronicles, but trust me, the tracks would be of an extremely commercial nature, if the title single was anything to go by. I suggest you stick to any of his outings through Fashion/Dub Vendor records, and yes, when Cockney Translation / Shan A Shan & Police Officer came out they went clear in the reggae charts at the time. Also check Shineheads Billie Jean / Mama Used To Say from the same period.

Two albums.
The first was the Polydor album Tongue In Cheek (featuring Schooltime Chronicle); a disappointing album.
The second is the Fashion compilation showcase The Original Smiley Culture. 6 tracks extended versions, including a couple of alternate versions (Roots Reality on Sleng Teng) and mixes.
