Hello all.

Found a strange vogue record.

Titled as Group: "Slim Pikins" and Song: "Tighten up" produced by Ed Chalpin german vogue.

The strange thing is that the singer say something about "I'm Tommie Knight and the Nights from Miami Florida..."

Found nothing about Tommie or Tommy Night & the Nights.

Anyone know something about the Group?

Put it on Youtube:

Thanks

Strange one, never seen that before..

Poor old keyboard player can't seem to keep up with the drummer !

Not quite up to the standard of this one though...

There is original US 45 of this. It is rare though! They leased the track to 2 European comps. Here they go under Night Men:

Goes really well until the organ comes in, then loses it a bit, But thats kind of charming in a way. Love the drums.

i like this a lot. the drums are awesome. what is the US label? the collectors frenzy was for a foreign label I think?

US lbl is Promenade. Actually 4 track 7" EP. Quite a shitty sound on it too.

It's on a Japanese 2007 Re-issue CD on Blockhead BKHDCD-002 titled

Kickin 1 - Heavy Funk & Soul From The '60s - '70s

under the name Tommy Knight and The Knights

Notes say:

Originally released as a mix tape in 2000 without track listing to promote the "Searching - Playing The Real Stuff" / "SOSTokyo" club night.

CD reissue includes track listing on back cover,

Artist for track 3 ("Tighten Up") is credited as "Unknown" on the back cover.
