Looker - Sue Saad

The band Sue Saad and the Next never made it big, but existed from 1979 to 1986. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1980, but only managed a lowly placing in the US album chart at number 131.

After the album, only one single was released, 'Looker' credited to Sue Saad. It did not chart, but the band still played live concerts until 1986, while also contributing tracks to movie soundtracks from time to time.

My collection: 7" single no. 4895
Found: Da Capo, Utrecht, May 28, 2010
Cost: 1 euro
Tracks: 'Looker' / 'Highwire'

  1. A BIG, very BIG, thanks for sharing this rare 7". I've been looking for "Highwire" everywhere to complete my Sue Saad song collection and to just have this rare tune. If you would like a copy, I've cleaned it up of vinyl noise and the really annoying scratch/popping at the end, as well as leveled out the volume. It was way too loud. Write me at phaota1@fastmail.fm. If, for some odd reason your mail gets bounced (it occasionally happens), try phaota@gmail.com instead.
