Raf Coney


The production on Raf Coney's "She's Mine" is pretty epic. The opening saxophone and piano set the stage for an elaborate production. The vocals are understated and an acquired taste but after a few listens this track rapidly becomes an ear worm. The piano refrain with the sax will have you craving another listen. Hiss Records released this one in 1983, they have a small catalog but there are some great tracks in there.

Toledo Girl


Toledo Girl is a wonderful track recorded first by Little Jack Jingle in 1984 and then covered by Cosa Rosa in 1986. Both versions are pretty spectacular, Cosa Rosa's Spanish guitar breaks and flamenco atmosphere added some wonderful flavor to the track. I featured the Cosa Rosa version on podcast 03.
