OK, here goes again....

Albums:
- "Bridge of Spies" or "T'pau" depending on what side of the puddle
you're on. (1987)

- 1988: "Rage" (1988)

- One more due out in the UK last week ("Promise") but I haven't seen it
yet. (first single from it ("Whenever you need me") released a few weeks
ago, got to #20 in UK chart).

Lead singer: Carol Decker, 'bout same age as KaTe, not quite as pretty
(IMHO 8^), nice powerful voice, but not too expressive.

IMHO, "BoS" is great, "Rage" slightly less so, there's a new producer on
the new album and I don't think he's quite got the same touch as the
last one (Roy Thomas Baker).

Dunno 'bout US release, wouldn't be too optimistic though...
