The Creamies - Cherry on the Top 7" (1984)

 This was a British ska band who played it slow and mellow. In their existence as a band they only ever released this one single but they started recording a full length album in 1984 that they never finished.

A - Cherry on the Top

B - Emotional Ocean

 


Prior to this single they contributed the song  "Bingo Erotica" to the 1982 compilation album "Battle of the Bands"

They re-recorded Bingo Erotica for their unreleased album but I much prefer the 1982 version. 

In 2015 they released the album tracks on CD Baby as "Cherry on the Top etc." with a slightly modified cover...

...aside from adding "etc." in an un-matching font, the cherry in the figure's hand is now red. It did look too much like a cocktail olive on the 7" cover so I understand this bold move.

 This release included 8 tracks. The song "Cherry on the Top" is the exact same recording from the single but the B-Side "Emotional Ocean" is surprisingly absent which is odd because it is one of their better tunes.
