Guys, Im certain I remember seeing a promo of Rachel Sweet on Swap shop singing "Baby, Lets play house". Our Kid reckons it was shown on Tiswas......but Im positive it was SS. Any clips surviving of this talented lass performing this song?? Theres stuff on YOU TUBE but I cant find this particular clip. Its featured on the "Protect the innocent" album, so that puts it around 1980 ish.
Heres hoping !

DEFFO a Saturday morning show. Remember thinking how fit she looked. I went out and bought the album. Really got into her after that.
Not literally.
Although I certainly would have !

That was on Rachels first album........FOOL AROUND. You know, when you listen to her stuff from the late 70s, she knocks spots off girls like Britney Spears. Cant understand how she never made it bigger. Great voice.
On a point of trivia, on some of her early hits, her backing band were actually The Damned. And, Im told, Graham Parker and the Rumour. Stiff records certainly produced some good stuff. She does a country version of Elvis Costellos "Stranger in the house" on the Fool Around album. Brilliant.
Love to get hold of the promo for "Baby, lets play house" though.

ooooooooohhhhh!!!! Now theres a blast from the past!
I have memories of this and think you could be right about Swap Shop - though I also seem to remember her appearing (or at least a promo ) on Kenny Everett's Thames show around this time - must check out the youtube stuff!
