Delighted to hear Zaine's albums are soon to be issued on CD, can't wait to see them ready to be ordered on this site.

Zaine has many fans in the UK who will want to buy these discs.

Two questions:

1)any chance of a compilation CD of uncollected single tracks etc one day?

2) Does anyone know if Zaine's cover of 'Passionate Reply' was ever released, or did it onlt ever get aired when he appeared on TV?

Jack, Harry Van Heerden and I raised the issue of a CD to collect together the missing tracks with Zaine, and hopefully he is considering it.

'Passioante Reply' was originally planned for release as a single but unfortunately this did not happen. However, it did finally make it onto 7" and 12" vinyl as the B-Side of 'Swing' in 1983.

Head over to the www.zainegriff.co.uk and look in the 'Discography' section under 'Zaine Griff - Solo' for full details.

As soon as the CD release is confirmed details will be added to the site.
