The Slow Dance

I feel your pain.

Was Lynx Africa ‘a thing’ back then? I’d argue it was more the scent of Insignia, or perhaps YSL Jazz…

This was the big end of night one at the disco at Penmaenmawr in North Wales on the summer school trips from Liverpool. Pretty damn balearic listening again

Aramis or Tabac, surely?

…and YSL Kouros too.

Jesus I’ve not thought about Kouros for probably 30 years. What a flashback, I used to smother myself in it as a teenager (and Paco Rabanne)

You may well be right… I was 13 in 86. More cumulative memories of comp.school years I guess… using at least half a can of something foul in advance of the disco!

The ‘84 disco in my neck of the woods was adorned with espedrilles, black baggy troosers and t-shirts with Chinese characters a la Breakdance. There was also a smattering of temporary hair dye - blue, red, green - worn by boys and girls alike. And studded gloves. Just the one mind. Never the pair.

Just looking these 80s bangers up, Kouros is still quite pricey. They must be due a comeback you’d think.

It’s also a Harvey tune. I think he played it in his comeback to the UK (in 2012?).
