First vinyl release on Diggers Dozen presenting this finely re-issued UK boogie lost gem from 1982 / Brit Funk era, recorded by singer Tony Crockett and Ralph Lewars’ band “Pastiche”. All in their early to mid 20’s and born in London of Caribbean descent. The group were short lived, working on material for just a few years with the “Queen of Hearts” 12-inch being their only release. The track immediately demands the listener’s attention with it’s jazz piano, thumping drums, heavy bass, guitar licks and laced with funky flute, synth stabs, spacey sound effects, then dropping into soulful silky vocals and slinky rap – bringing together this killer UK boogie groove.
