Union Express –Do You Love Me/Alligator Fix –Decca MO 1365 –(1973 Spanish issue)
Ok, the picture sleeve may be one of the most gloriously garish items in my collection, but be sure to check inside, as the contents are PURE KILLER!
Do You Love Me is a great Glammed up version of The Contours’ hit. Dig the 1-2-3-4 count response to a little bit of soul now….The guitar gets pretty wild at the end and the whole performance sounds like a loose end of session work out with a few handclaps added. If the A side is good, the B side positively verges on the great. Alligator Fix is just one of those brilliant obscure gems that pop up once in a while –Enjoy!

Excellent! Any idea what their other records are like?
Well there are at least 2 more singles prior to this one: Ring a ring a roses and Sugar Honey.
I've no idea what they are like, but I woudl expect them to be more in a commercial Pop vain...Can anyone give a report on these?
I meant vein of course...unless they traveled in a commercial Pop van with nice colourful decals on the way to the audition for that elusive gig on the cruise liner...
Right on! I think this blows Iron Cross way out of the water. Total pant-suit goodness! And fits in perfectly with my 60s-pop-left-overs = 70s-glam thesis.
