Tony Jackson (Stackton) real name, was an obscure British soul musician, singer/songwriter, producer and arranger trying to break into the big time, sadly never happened for him. He did win a TV Talent show on the old ATV Network "New faces" in 1977 & he was in quite a few local London groups, one was called Indigo who were in the competition to represent the UK in the Eurovision song contest in 1978, they didn't win, but they did record an album. He recorded 45,s with several outfits before he went on to record this one gem on a private press (his label ?). No info about it on discogs as is the case with private presses. Now its a collectors item with soul/northern fans alike worth a lot of money. A few acetates were floating around the scene back in the day of his dancers all featured on here. From my faithful back-up library of CD,s after selling off the original years ago. It,s a very good all round album. He passed in 2001.

Thank you for the review mate
Interesting story, or fun fact...
Blame It On The Boogie was written by Michael Jackson, but not that one !!
The composer was a red-headed white guy from the UK, who released the song himself before THE Michael Jackson did... but we know what happened.
On a parallel note... I actually recorded Boogie Wonderland with my band before EWF, but our record company decided not to even release it as EWF's version had already shot up the charts. The song was written by Jon Lind & Allee Willis, and was sent out to various record companies (including ours) by their publishers.
Anyway... thanks AMM for this review :)
