The Hits
Al's
chart success started with The Monks' 'Nice Legs Shame About The Face',
a novelty record that was sung on football terraces across the UK and
reached No 19 in the singles chart. He met Derek B, UK's first chart
rapper, and they made 'Bullet For A Gun' for Phonogram which spawned
two top 20 singles 'Bad Young Brother' and 'Good Groove'.
After working with Angie Brown he introduced her to Bizarre Inc and
produced I'm Gonna Get You' which achieved No.2 in the UK singles chart.
The pop dance theme continued with a mix he did for Betty Boo's 'Where
Are You Baby?' and Folk/Rock entered the picture with The Levellers.
Al produced and mixed the iconic, three times platinum 'Levelling The
Land' and followed that up with their only No1 album 'Zeitgeist' including
the hits 'One Way', '15 years', 'Hope Street', 'This Garden' and 'Just
The One'.
