Wham! - BAD BOYS CLUB TROPICANA - Extended Club Mix Versions Vinyl Epic Records.
Rare Japanese Tokyo pressing!
Vinyl record is flawless. Looks like its never been played. Sounds great.
Club Tropicana (1983), whichreached #4, is the only one of the four singles not socially or politicallymotivated. Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are dressed as airline pilots in a videofilmed in Ibiza; they are also seen lounging around by the poolside, taking inthe sun rays. The song - like its video - is clearly a dig at the 18-30 packageholiday crowd that was getting popular by the 1980s. It is the only ballad outof the four singles - well ballad-esque - for the song is still quite jauntyand trumpet-driven. Club Tropicana sounds more like the Wham! that would emergeout of Make It Big (1984), and hints at a future solo Michael.
