WOW! (Australian Edition)
Click 320kbs
Rare Australian version featuring the Original Versions of "Strike It Rich" & "Some Girls" that where not included on the original UK realse or the recent remaster version.
This version also includes the Bananarama Megamix that came with the UK Gatefold sleeve album and on the 10" single for "I Want You Back".
Oddly this version includes the single version of "I Want Yo Back" and not the original album version.

True Confessions (Remastered)
Click
True Confessions is the third album by the British girl group Bananarama. Released in 1986, the album was not a commercial success in the UK, but achieved their biggest sales and chart success in the U.S., where the first single "Venus" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (an achievement they never obtained in their home country).
A majority of the album is produced by Tony Swain and Steve Jolley (who produced their second album). With the exception of "Venus" and "More Than Physical" (later given a garage music remix for its single version), which began Bananarama's association with the Stock, Aitken & Waterman songwriting and production team, much of the album has adult contemporary leanings

Bananarama (Remastered)
Click
Bananarama is the second album released by British girl group, and generally considered to be their darkest, and most sombre. The group continued its association with producers Tony Swain and Steve Jolley (who had produced a couple of tracks on their debut album, Deep Sea Skiving). With this album Bananarama had its first significant U.S. success with the single "Cruel Summer", which became a top ten hit.
The group also attempted to display a more "serious artists" image, as the British press had repeatedly labeled them as talentless, frivolous and controlled by their producers. "Rough Justice", and particularly "King Of The Jungle" are songs inspired by the shooting death of their good friend Thomas "Kidso" Reilly in Belfast.

Pop Life (Demos)
After a successful 1988, which saw original member Siobhan Fahey leave the group and new member Jacquie O'Sullivan join, release-wise 1989 was a quiet year. In fact, the only new material released was the charity single "Help" with comedy group Lananeeneenoonoo.
The girls started work on their eagerly anticipated new album with producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Although some songs & a few demo's were recorded, ultimately the 1989 sessions fell through and Bananarama parted ways with the Hit Factory.
Two of the tracks recorded during that time made their way onto the "Pop Life" album (albeit in a remixed form) - these were "Ain't No Cure" & "Heartless". Bananarama turned to producer Youth for the then untitled album, and began work on demo recordings.
Here are five demo's from the "Pop Life" sessions, including the two from the 1989 SAW sessions. "What Colour R The Skies Where You Live" is notable, as at 6m31s it is 2 minutes longer than the completed album version.
- Ain't No Cure
- Heartless
- Long Train Running
- Outta Sight
- What Colour R The Skies Where You Live
A Trick Of The Night
ClickQuite possibly one of my favourite Nana tracks ever..."A Trick of the Night" is a ballad written and produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released as the final single from Bananarama's album True Confessions.
The song was remixed slightly for its single version, adding extra synthesizer lines and vocal harmony layering. It was also given a more "upbeat" remix by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production trio, at the request of London Records.
The cautionary message in the lyrics are directed towards a friend who has gone to seek his fortune in the big city and ended up a rentboy.
The 12 inch single's B-side, "Set on You", was the first in a series of club-oriented songs recorded specifically for Bananarama's single B-sides that demonstrated the group's shift towards the club market.

Bananarama - Venus (1986 Versions)
Click
I don't think there needs to be said very much about this track, other than pure pop genuis. This track was to change Bananarama's direction in music forever. Sadly Venus only reached number 8 in the UK in May 1986. The track feared better in the USA and gained the girls a number one hit, something they still have not achieved in the UK!

Bananarama - Only Your Love
Bananarama - Do Not Disturb
A transitional song for Bananarama in August 1985, inbetween the 2nd Album and True Confessions came this stand alone single, it only peaked at number 31 in the UK (Even with the addition of the beautiful shaped picture discs) and it was later included on the 'True Confessions' album but Bananarama never really liked the song. 10 Months later Venus was released and Bananarama's direction changed forever.

Bananarama - Strike It Rich / Some Girls
[Click Image for the full Expanded & Remastered CD]
With the recent Re-Masters of all Bananrama’s back catalogue me and most fans where looking forward to having the original versions of “Some Girls” & “Strike It Rich”. The original 1988 WOW! CD had 12” versions included in place of the original versions found on the vinyl and cassette. Unfortunately the WOW! Re-master didn’t include the original mixes just edits of the 12” Mixes so here (At long last) for all the die hard fans are the original versions with their remixes.

Bananarama - The Wild Life
One of my favourites by the girls.
Written in two days, the track was composed for and included in the 1984 American film of the same name The Wild Life, (starring Christopher Penn) and on its soundtrack. Bananarama's second, self-titled album had already been in stores for several months when this single was issued, and for a time the album was re-released with "The Wild Life" included. The song was released as a single in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Japan. The UK was instead given the song "Hot Line to Heaven" as the album's final single.
Bananarama (Featuring Lananeeneenoonoo) - Help!
Reached number 3 (in the UK) In Febuary 1989

Bananarama - More Than Physical
In order to capitalize on the number-one success of previous single "Venus" (the other True Confessions track produced by SAW), "More Than Physical" was given a UK garage-influenced make-over to sound similar to the dance-oriented chart-topper. The new version's music video further capitalized on Bananarama's new glamourous and sexy visual image by including several well-muscled, topless men in a montage of shots of the group members.
Even with heavy exposure on MTV, "More Than Physical" did not duplicate the success of "Venus", stalling at number forty-one on the UK singles chart in August 1986.
"More Than Physical" was immortalised into 80's pop culture by being featured in the popular 1986 British film Rita, Sue and Bob Too starring Michelle Holmes and Siobhan Finneran. The song is featured in the scene where the girls are babysitting for Bob and Michelle, and they dance around the living room while the video to "More Than Physical" plays on the television
