Alan Rankine - The Sandman [12" TWI 598 BEL 1986 24-Bit FLAC]

Here is the original Les Disques Du Crépuscule twelve inch version of Alan Rankine's debut pop single The Sandman. It is not the greatest of pressings, however you also get three worthy instrumental pieces of the flipside which hint at some planned soundtrack work. The a-side is pure cheesy catchy synth-pop and was eventually re-released as a single on Virgin Records a few years later, but it sadly failed to sell in any number and make any impact in the mainstream, where I think it deserved a place.

A1 The Sandman
B1 Rumours Of War
B2 Rue Traversiere
B3 Sunny Lee

    thanks a lot for this batch of rankine / TWI stuff that greatly supports my laziness (don't have to get up and get the records from the shelf) and brings back good memories from the heydays when I was younger and lived just a short trip from belgium, where this stuff was not too difficult to find. pleasure ground has always been a favourite - thanks :-)!
