Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

The Maisonettes - Heartache Avenue

The Maisonettes were an English one-hit band formed by Lol Mason (formerly of City Boy) and Mark Tibenham.

Their debut single, 'Heartache Avenue', reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart in 1983, and later peaked at number 12 on the Canadian chart and number 97 in Australia in early 1983.

The song was discovered by David Virr in a pile of demo tapes in his office, and had been recorded in Birmingham by singer Lol Mason, guitarist Mark Tibenham, and session drummer Nick Parry. Virr decided to put it out on his own label, which he named Ready Steady Go!

To fill out the band, two teenage models, Denise Ward and Elaine Williams, were recruited as backing vocalists (although 'Heartache Avenue' had been recorded with different female session vocalists, along with session bass guitarist Mark Cunningham). As it turned out, however, Ward and Williams could not harmonize well enough to sing with the band live or in the studio, though by the time this was decided, they had already appeared often with the group in media photos and miming on television.
