Oh I remember my ex showed me…"
Kai Ahland replied to Laurent Bof's discussion 'What's on your turntable right now?'"Yeah, they mostly did dreadfull "Schlager" rubbish; Cindy wasted a great voice on that, as you´ll see!"

TheRetroman68 replied to Laurent Bof's discussion 'What's on your turntable right now?'"Yep, Parsley out adventures of Parsley, Solarflares and currently in MFC Chicken (they are good live). The L.p was called Dutronc Dutronc Dutronc , Bruce Brand drummed in them too"
