Cheese & Lime
What an awesome sleeve! The artwork of Studio Graffiti graced all of the Lime album covers with the exception of their debut "Your Love". Lime II is another old LP that I picked up in Reading the other week, along with the Mandre albums I posted about previously. Quite different in style though, this is very upbeat, almost synth-pop style disco from 1982. It's pretty cheesey but I think it's great. Lime were Denis & Denyse Lepage, a middle-aged husband and wife duo from Montreal. Although the pair wrote and sung all of the tracks on the album, there was some confusion surrounding the groups identity at the time as they decided to hire two younger and more attractive singers, Joy Dorris & Chris Marsh, to perform their live shows. The group enjoyed great success in the club charts throughout the Eighties, spanning seven albums and numerous 12" singles and remixes. Head over to the Disco Museum for some more information. They suggest that the albums can be ordered on cd via Unidisc. Personally, I'll look forward to finding some more of their beautiful LP's in future digging sessions. Enjoy the music!

I've got some problems with those mp3, they last only a few seconds... too bad !!!
I'm suprised they are even still there. The links are over 7 months old now!
Please, bring the good links back ! That's so frustating to hear only a few seconds of each track...
Links updated for you, mystery person! Don't be a stranger now...
I'm old enough to know this: Lime were simply the Shizzle in Gay discos mid-eighties. You could NOT get away from their sound. Angel Eyes was a MONSTER single. I think it must be tied with Blue Monday for the most ubiquitous twelve inch. Every DJ I've ever met has it in their crates. Check it! Guilty is my favorite despite Denis' BRillo pad voice: it's so damned symphonic and that beerhall chorus is to die for! Oh and get On The Grid for sure: awesome sound!
Thanks for posting this. This art is truly iconic!
