b/w - Anyway You Want It
OK, I'll be honest I bought this on account of it being a cover version (God knows how many covers of the Leiber Stroller hit there are!!).
I'll admit to being mildly disappointed but when I flipped it over all my woes went away as Anyway You Want It is a great teenybopper / powerpopper.
The band were
Phil Hammond (voc) - yellow shirt
Jeremy Pictor-Wayne (guitar) - white shirt
Alf Greenfield (bass) - red shirt
Nick Potts (drums) - green shirt
After 2 45's for RCA (their earlier 45 was Disco Dancer/Wam Bam Shang-A-Lang 1978) vocalist Kevin Harris ( ex Stevenson's Rocket ) was drafted in & the band changed their name to The Spitfires. (who released another cool powerpop 45 on RCA Friday On My Mind / Can't Get You Off My Mind)
production for all their 45's was by Bill Kimber (who also worked on all the Monos! 45's)

'Alf' was Alf Greenfield, 'Potts' would've been Nick Potts, and 'Hammond' would've been Phil Hammond. But that's all I know!
