    Arlene Bailey Let’s Stay In Love / Closer To You

    Backatcha
      • 1. Let’s Stay In Love
      • 2. Closer To You

      One-off run of this essential stepper with picture sleeve: Back-to-back on 45 for the first time, Arlene Bailey’s ‘Let’s Stay In Love’ and ‘Closer To You’. Originally appearing on Bailey’s 1987 debut LP, these two firm favourites sound like they could have been laid down a decade earlier unlike the rest of the album that sounds very much of its time. Both songs were co-written and produced by Arlene and her brother George for A.G.B. Records.
