Found a very old CD while clearing out some old stuff. Once ripped into iTunes I discovered that I'd forgotten just how great this never heard of 80's album was.

Boomtown - David & David | AllMusic

It really hasn't dated one iota. Shame they only recorded the one album, which only seven people bought.

Funnily enough while I was one of those, when I played it to my wife she turned out to be the only other person I've ever met that had even heard of David and David. She's South African but bought the album when she was younger and living in Jo'burg.

Anyone else on here secret fans?

I remember (and like) the title track. It definitely got airplay.

I like David all right, but David is a prick.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Isn't that the guy that went to the dentist?

Oh yeah, don't have a copy of the album but I think of that song all the time. It was VERY APPROPRIATE when written - at that time in my life I knew some of those folks.

Welcome to the Boomtown, I've used that expression ever since.
He can be fixed -- you can't.
