I have heard of it yes as my Bass player is the singer from Radio City's son. Apparently they are going for a fair whack on eBay!

[Jeid]

Just give it to me, it's worthless..

[Dog-eared]

I have both Radio City tracks plus others as well as tracks penned by Raymond on a " Dancehall Daze " tape, played by various local musicians. Theres some good tunes there.

[iain]

Had that tape, must start looking in boxes.

[The Pepsi Challenge]

Great tunes - would love to hear them again.

Hey, I recorded that one!! Long time ago and to be fair out of my depth (2 track DAT to DAT recording was bordering on insanity!! - ie: record all the backing to one DAT machine then overdub the vocals to a second DAT recorder while live mixing each time!!! - it scares me to even thing about it now). But enough of the tech talk, Raymond was a brilliant song writer and the tunes that each band performed worked out well. I still have a CD of this (we got 3 CD's produced by Grampian records in Wick for £25 a disc - this was in 1993 when CD burning was new!!! - we gave one to Raymonds wife as a gift.) Pure class . . . . . .

I doubt it is the same Radio City.

I am lucky to have been given a CD of a lot of Raymond Henderson's stuff by a fellow orger

I still have the CD that you gave me.[The third one]Raymond was not only a great songwriter he also had a great singing voice.The two tracks on the CD recorded by Barracuda were originally demos of just Raymond playing guitar and singing.We added the backing later at Ian Sinclairs studio and I sometimes think we should have left them alone, a sort of Raymond unplugged.

The Radio City album is being released by 1977 records in July 2011, a marketing ploy ie 30 years after songs originally recorded. Check out 1977 we bsite nearer the release date

A bit of good news indeed!I still have the single,but a CD's much handier.Any idea who's doing the distribution yet?

It will be on line through 1977 records web site only, but if things turn out like the single other web retailers will get copies and re sell them ie the re issued single on 1977 records appears on another 4 web retailers and copies are currently being re sold on e bay at 3 times the re issue price ie 30 US dollars. Best to google, if you type into google advanced search love and a picture then radio city you will see loads of sites ( mostly Japanese ) carrying info

As an original member of Radio City and having played in Bodie and the Blonde Brothers with Raymond i would like to offer fans of Radio City the chance to purchase an original copy of Radio City's single without having to bid on e/bay.Numbers are limited. All the money raised will go to Leukemia research.I will ask questions about the band to see if you are a genuine fan!

I'd love it, but too young to answer any questions! Went to school with Raymonds son and must have played dance hall daze until it wore out! She's a radio and Love and a picture were easily the best songs on that album.
