Anyone remember this record? It didn't make the charts but was played on Radio 1 for a while.

I was obsessed with it, although since I bought singles at Boots and they only stocked the Top 30, I never had a copy.

Finally 30 years later I have it, and it turns out to have been a comeback single for the lead singer of a 60s girl group who did Captain of Your Ship and a rather fantastic Northern Soul classic called Panic ten years before.

It is such an odd record, all about a family wedding, and sort of like Greek folk music goes disco rock. It is one of those records that for some reason is quite spooky and frightening for no reason you can put your finger on.

I have just created a Wikipedia page about the record if anyone wants to have a look.

If someone can explain how, I can upload it to YouTube or something, but I only have it on CD.

I have it too - bought when it came out. It never did materialise into the comeback Reparata hoped for as I think it came out into the middle of a dispute with a former member of the group who was also calling herself Reparata.

Always found them an interesting group, and have just bought their greatest hits CD which has some great notes and pics inside. Greatest hits is a bit of a misnomer though, as truth to tell, they hardly had any, and never had a hit of any substance in their homeland.
