Interesting. I suppose I've seen it listed and never checked it out. There's quite a bit available on vinyl at reasonable enough prices. I'll comment more when I get some.

Not heard of this beat combo before.
Saw the singer Steve Allen ( aka Enrigo Cadillac Jnr) loads of time in Deaf School. Clive Langer was also in the band. Link to a few bits of info about Mr Alen and his music :

Recently, in my quest to track down all of the vinyl offerings of my favorite artists, I stumbled upon the three EPs that were released by the Perils of Plastic. Having bought all three, I can say that I found them to be immensely enjoyable to listen to. I have one question, though. The third song on the "The Love I Love" EP, called "What Love Can Do For You", has puzzled me. As there are no musician credits on the album jacket, I cannot easily find out who provided drums and bass for the song. To me, though, bass-line sounds a little like something Bruce Thomas would have done, and from that notion, and that the drumming sounds different from the other Perils of Plastic songs, I think the drumming sounds a bit like Pete Thomas' work. Additionally, Steve's piano playing reminds me of his work for the album "Trust", something that for me ties the song closer to the idea of the other Attractions playing on it. So, my question for you Steve, is, did Bruce
and Pete Thomas contribute bass and drums to the song "What Love Can Do For You"?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Daniel,
The Perils of Plastic was a project of mine in collaboration with Steve Allen the singer of Deaf School. We recorded an entire album, and three singles were released, but the record company shelved the album because the singles were not top twenty hits. That happens to so many artists, months of work that never see the light of day. ANyway - the track you are talking about was myself on piano, the bass I am sure was Guy Pratt, who is a wonderful musician, played live on some of the later Pink Floyd shows and I'm sure if you google him you'll find out all he has done. I am not 100% sure but I think the drummer was Style Council's man Steve White, again a brilliant musician. I'm thinking there was a guitar on the track and wondering who it was possibly Tim Renwick or possibly J.J. Bell two great musicians that I had the pleasure to work with during my time on the Jonathen Ross TV show.
To conclude a song of mine that has the Attractions playing together, (I think it was the last thing we ever did actually) is on 'Mumu' and is called "Young People".
