Description
In January 1981,
the four members of Bucks Fizz - Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston, and Bobby
G - met each other for the first time. Three months later, they were catapulted
to international success when 'Making Your Mind Up', with its now famous routine,
won the Eurovision Song Contest and raced to the top of the charts in nine
countries, selling four million copies worldwide. Bucks Fizz went on to become
one of the most popular groups of the 1980s, with 20 UK hit singles, including
two further number ones with 'The Land Of Make Believe' and 'My Camera Never
Lies', and the Ivor Novello-nominated 'Now Those Days Are Gone'. The group
survived a near-fatal coach crash and a lineup change to return triumphantly to
the UK top ten with 'New Beginning' in 1986.
Often
derided by critics, Bucks Fizz produced a wealth of tremendous pop records and
this book is a celebration of the group and their music. It examines every
track on every studio album as well as B-sides, bonus tracks, compilations,
solo and related material to provide an insight into a much-loved but
critically underrated group
