All Mixed Up! Volume 11 - Atomic Kitten (Virgin / Innocent) (1999)

OK, I couldn't resist one last post today.

My final offering today is a mini selection from 90's girl group Atomic Kitten.
Masterminded by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark front man Andy McCluskey the group went on to achieve significant success releasing 17 top 40 singles in the space of  5 years.
The biggest of these was "Whole Again" which became the 13th biggest selling single of the 00's.

This mini selection features the five singles released from their debut album "Right Now" back in 1999. On initial release the album reached a peak of number 39 in the UK charts. However following on from the massive success of "Whole Again" the album was
re-released hitting a peak of number 1 and selling in excess of 600,000 copies in the UK alone.

Enjoy this slice of pure pop!

That's my lot for today, have a great weekend you fabulous bunch and thanks for checking me out!

All Mixed Up Volume 10 - Dead Or Alive (Epic / Sony) (1984 - 1990)

Following on from the shocking news today confirming that Pete Burns has passed away as a result of a massive cardiac arrest, I thought it would be fitting to pay tribute to a true icon in the only way I know how...

I am utterly devastated as I have grown up with Dead Or Alive since my formative years way back in 1984. I've always loved Pete for his music as well as his dry sense of humour and sharp wit,

My heart goes out to his family, friends and fans alike.

RIP. Gone but never forgotten... ever!

The original post :

I have been a massive fan of Burns & Co. since the release of their only number one single "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" way back in late 1984. Unfortunately most would only ever recognise Dead Or Alive by that track which is a shame because they released some stunning work over the years. If you need any guidance then try and get hold of a deluxe edition of their hits package "Evolution". It's a mighty fine collection.

The track list for this particular collection brings together some of their greatest work in remix form along with some rarer imported or unreleased mixes, The Naughty XXX Mix of "Something In My House" and the Flip Out Mix of "Rip It Up" are amongst those that never saw an official release - listening to the former you'll understand why - hahahah... 

I love this band to bits even after all these years. If you take the chance to side step "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" and are a big fan of 80's club / PWL stuff then you're going to love it too.

All Mixed Up! Volume 9 - Kylie Minogue (1987 - 1992) (PWL / Mushroom)

It's the weekend at last- woo hoo! (punches the air)...
Hope you're all well...

Next up in the AMU series is only the Princess Of Pop - Kylie!!!!!

Coming to prominence in the UK via Australian daytime soap "Neighbours" in the mid 80's as tomboy Charlene Mitchell, Kylie fast became a major hit with teen audiences.

As the story goes Kylie and her Neighbours colleagues attended a charity gig in Australia and went down a storm when an encore was demanded by their Aussie fans. With nothing prepared Kylie led the troop in a rousing rendition of Little Eva's hit from yesteryear "The Loco-Motion". With a rapturous response from the audience on the day the Australian public demanded that Kylie record and release it as a single. Promptly accepting the challenge a single was recorded and released reaching number 1 in Australia for 7 weeks and becoming one of the biggest sellers of the 80's there.

Fast forward to 1987 and Kylie was on route to visit The Hit Factory owned my Messrs. Stock / Aitken / Waterman to record a follow up single, Unknown to the trio of producers at the time legend has it that they were unprepared for the pocket rocket turning up and they duly knocked up her 2nd single (her debut in the UK) "I Should Be So Lucky" in 20 minutes. Kylie proceeded to belt out the single in one take and duly left to return to Australia...

On release "I Should Be So Lucky" raced to the top of the UK charts where it remained for a solid 5 weeks.

What followed over the next 4 years was a fantastic collection of classics that still stand up today.

This collection features remixes / alternative takes of every single one of those singles from "The Locomotion" right up to her final single with PWL "Celebration". Also included are rare and unreleased mixes of album tracks earmarked for release that never were.
