Tight Fit Rare OZ White Label Test Press ST LP NM ’82 Zomba JVL37868 Synth Pop
Rare OZ White Label Test Press LP released in 1982 on Zomba Records. Cat: JVL37868.In 1981, record producer Ken Gold came up with the idea to record a single made up of a medley of 1960s songs. The medley trend was in full swing at this time, following the success of Starsound and their Stars on 45 singles. He put together a group of male/female session singers and released "Back to the 60s" under the group title, Tight Fit. The song became a hit in the summer and reached No.4 in the UK Singles Chart. Instead of the sessions singers who sang on the record, a group of actor/ singers including Lowri-Ann Richards and Robert Pereno, were hired to front the group when Tight Fit first appeared on the BBC's music show Top of the pops. A follow-up, "Back to the 60s Part 2" was released soon after and it reached No.33 in the UK Top 40. Later in the year record producer Tim Friese-Greene recorded a version of the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with another group of session singers. The song was released in early 1982, again under the name Tight Fit. The song gained instant attention and so a new group was formed to front it. Dancer, singer and male model Steve Grant was teamed up with female singers Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris. The song reached No.1 in the UK for three weeks in March 1982 and the lineup were catapulted into sudden and unexpected stardom.
