BRAM TCHAIKOVSKY - FUNLAND (1981)

After the first two albums "Strange Man, Changed Man" bringing the unforgettable "Girl Of My Dreams", and "The Russians Are Coming" (retitled "Pressure" in the USA 'cause of the cold war), Micky Broadbent left the band due to personal conflict with Bram Tchaikovsky about the leadership. The band themselves left Radar and signed to Arista. Funland was produced by Nick Garvey and recorded at Rockfield studios in 1981 with a brand new line-up of Tchaikovsky, Forbes, Lord Richard Itchingham playing bass, and Derek Ballard playing drums. An old Motors B-side, "Soul Surrender," was recorded as an afterthought by Bram, Garvey and deputized drummer Hilly Michaels. It would be the last album by the band. Bram then retired from music business.
