Would love to - Shame this didn't happen 8 months ago when I was in Brussels - Oh well. Maybe it will be recorded and released for those who can't make it.

What album does "Le Rabatteur Des Sectes" appear on? This was the only track at the convention I'm not familiar with.

Jim

it appears on their 2nd album, "Walking Everywhere", produced by JJ back in 1983. Actually, they played several tracks from this LP at the Convention : Le Rocker De La CIA, Walking Class Hero, and Le Rabatteur Des Sectes. This album was released on Virgin Records, and is now out of print for quite a long time, not even available on iTunes, I'm afraid. I might post a mp3 vinyl copy here in the near future.

Ah right - I have this somewhere - this track must have passed me by somehow - It rocked like a mother at the convention. I'll dig it out this weekend.

Do the band have any plans to reissue (I know they did a vinyl box set recently but what about CD?) - They coulda shifted a few units at the convention I reckon.


Thanks

Jim

I don't think there will be any CD reissue. You know how things go with records companies nowadays... But the band is currently working on a download service. And I know they should start recording some new material pretty soon.

Thanks for the videos. Actually, the 2 girlies (the blonde & the brunette) are quite new in the band. This was their third gig with Polyphonic Size. They are also known in Brussels as Les Vedettes, and have been playing with various bands and singers including Arno (TC Matic). Roger-Marc (lead vocals / guitar / keyboards) founded PSize back in 1979. On bass is Mika, also playing with the famous belgian band Ghinzu. Alice and Mandy, the keyboards and guitar players are Roger-Marc's daughters. Their mother used to sing with PSize in the 80's !

Too much eye candy. Seriously though all very talented and adds to the cool vibe to the band. I hope they keep going for a few years yet.
