Shopping around - Sylvia and the Sapphires

Although released in 1982, this single sounds like it was recorded in the sixties. It sounds like the Supremes produced by Phil Spector, but it isn't. It's the British trio Sylvia and the Sapphires, a girlgroup that recorded a few singles before fading back into obscurity.

'Shopping around' did not chart in the UK and narrowly missed the Dutch Top 40. This limited edition picture disc was a real find.
