    Ian, I think it's called, wait for it........"I'm a wonderful 
    thing." There's another contender for the "Whatever happened to"
    Hall of Fame.
    
    barry.

    I agree with Barry - I also think it's just "I'm a wonderful thing". 
    
    RE: Hall of Fame. Kid Creole made an attempt at a comeback last year
    sometime. I got the LP, which I can't remember the name of, for four
    quid in a sale. It's like the earlier stuff but not quite as good.

    They had a hit last year (i think) with "THE SEX OF IT" it was produced
    by PRINCE, there last Album was made at Paisley Park Studios (PRINCES
    STUDIOS IN MINNEAPOLIS) and a few of the tracks were produced by
    him. They toured Britain last year doing two nights at the Town
    and Country (coconuts included) Plus the other night I was watching
    Against ALL Odds (film starring rachel ward geoff bridges)and Kid
    Creole were playing on stage in one of the scenes.......just thought
    I would add that..!!!

    Just yesterday I saw a new 12" release, called the Anniversary Medley. It
    includes four of their best-known songs, plus another one called something
    like "A man is a piece of art", or something along that line. B-side
    features the whole song.

    Sounds like the whole music was re-recorded for most of the medley....
    dunno if Kid fans will like it.

    What anniversary is it, by the way?

    There is a good Kid Creole compilation, dating from around 1985 or so. 
    It has all the well known stuff on it, and I think it can be found for
    'mid-price' these days (ie, expensive, but not stupidly expensive).
    
    PS - Chart CDs and Tapes are a bit cheaper in Savacentre than Our
    Price.  Bee Bees still does CDs for 10.49 tho, and does not charge P&P. 
    Next day delivery also.
