The Killers - Killer (On The Dance Floor) 1978


b/w -No Surrender

Here's some nice glam/rock/pop from the boys, who penned Video killed the radio star (Made famous by Trevor Horn's later incarnation the buggles
BTW there is also a lesser known {in the UK} version by Bruce Wooley & the Camera Club)

The London based studio only group were
Bruce Woolley (voc guitar)
Trevor Horn (bass keyboards)
Rod Thompson (keyboards)

I have to admit that, I'm posting this so you can compare it to my next post........

    I'm suspecting that you're going to post Jim Penfold's The Speedos cover of ''Killer on the dancefloor'' from 1980. Well, I have to anticipate that it's excellent too.
    Happy new year!!

    A well educated guess Papuchi - any requests?

    Graeme - The only thing interesting thing about Ellis-Bextor are my distant memories of her mum on "Blue Peter"
