late 70s/early 80s covers album

Post by steve c »

in about 1982 i borrowed a classic covers album from a pal,the label was damaged so i had no idea who it was.it was pretty beat up so i presume it wasnt new - all songs were slow sexy covers,all by the same artist - tracks included paul ankas diana,the midnight hour,so fine.
does anyone recognise,who was it and whats the title
thanks

The album you're thinking of is by George Faith, released alternately as *To Be a Lover* and *Super Eight*.

I ended up buying the vinyl after I had problems ordering the CD from Hip-O Select. (There was an issue delivering to the UK). That said, AnorakTrev didn't have any problem at all!



Hopefully, you'll have better luck than me. :)

Hi Steve

Trevor definitely managed to get them to deliver to the UK. No idea how he did it though.

Trevor are you lurking? We need you! :)
