(Remember the concept of "sides"?) Both of Rew's songs are on Side 1, as is Vince de la Cruz's fine "Sun Street", which was the single in the UK. Okay, Katrina's two Side 1 songs aren't amazing, but they're not-bad little throwaways -- Pat DiNizio would have been proud to have written "Tears For Me".

This group deserved more success than they got. They have a lot of other good material, even though much of it is hard to track down. There is in fact an earlier version of WOS done before their major, short-lived fame kicked in. Someone should totally do a complete guide to this group detailing each of their early and later albums.<br><br>"I used to think maybe you loved me . . . " One of the best one hit wonders ever.

I have to admit there are a couple of songs I like from this one. "Sun Street" should've been the first single. It's the kind of bouncy, sugary pop I love, though it may be a little too cutesy for some people's taste, which is probably why the label with with the more rockin' "Is That It". And "Tears For Me" was a fun 60s throwback with a singalong chorus. Certainly no masterpiece, but it could've been a hit if the band still had any momentum going. <br><br>Any chance you could post either of those? (I agree the songs you did post pretty much suck.)

It is really a convoluted story and luckily the 25 page liner notes in my cd (almost) explain it all…. hahahhaa….

take care
