Nimbo - Forget Her


Nimbo sounds exactly like Badfinger on this 1971 single. The harmonies are very Pete & Tommy and the upfront bass playing very McCartney. Nimbo released two 45's on Pye. I haven't yet found a copy of their second 45, a cover of The Bee Gees' "When The Swallows Fly" b/w "Noticeingly By". After the two singles on Pye, they switched to the Motown subsidiary Mowest and changed their name to The Rockits for another couple of 45's. Nimbo members John Wilson and Dave Powell then joined up with Bob Jackson and Tommy Evans of Badfinger to form The Dodgers. Tommy must've heard "Maisie Jones".

Hot Chocolate - I Believe In Love

What a great tune by Hot Chocolate! I love how loud the hi-hats are in the mix. It reminds me of how loud the hi-hats are on the Blond album. I first saw this video courtesy of my friend Jessica. This comes from a series of VHS tapes called Music Unlimited that had all these music promos filmed in the early 70's of artists like The Equals, Tony Hazzard, Emitt Rhodes and The Sweet among others. Anybody know the history of these clips?
