Biography by Greg Prato. Disco superstar who matched a flamboyant sense of style and sexuality with a breathtaking singing voice.

The album debuted at number 176 on the Billboard 200, number 5 on Top Heatseekers, and number 22 on Top Independent Albums. The songs "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" and "The Big Bad Wolf" were both re-recorded from their first EP, Green Light Go!. The singles "The Common Hours", "3-D" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends", were also re-recorded, having been previously released as demos

Photograph: GAB Archives/Redferns. There was also the matter of the chorus and its loaded use of the word real.

Also a few fantastic remixes should have been included.
