The Real Thing

Anyone a fan of this group? I was hoping to delve further into their catalogue, but the good stuff seems to be out of print.

I love several of their songs, particularly "You To Me Are Everything", "Can't Get By Without You" and this song, which ended up in the Joan Collins film disco campfest The Stud.

I've grown to hate "You To Me Are Everything" mainly because it seems to be one of those songs that's included on several 70's hits compilation CDs I have!

I like this track from them....

Can You Feel The Force is definitely the one, and it had a bit of a second life in 1986 when it was given a spiffy remix and re-released, along with two other singles. This seems to be the best overview;

https://www.discogs.com/Real-Thing-Its-The-Real-Thing-The-Singles-Collection/release/3347267

...and has the 7" versions of those 1986 remixes, but of course it's OOP and £300 on Amazon Marketplace.

I know! I wanted that Singles Collection and was gobsmacked when I saw it was that amount.
