Bo Street Runners - Bo Street Runner/Baby Never Say Goodbye [7" White Vinyl]

Format: 7" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: DOWN10S
Release Date: 27 Sep 2024
Genre: R&B

Acid Jazz group label Countdown Records presents the next release in the Mod Classics series - the fantastic, super-hip R&B of North London Group The Bo Street Runners, with an exclusive coupling of their ‘Bo Street Runner’ b/w ‘Baby Never Say Goodbye’. To those around the '80s mod scene, these are two iconic tracks that filled floors from East London’s Regency Suite to Sneakers in the West.

The Bo Street Runners formed in 1964 and made their name playing at the Railway Hotel in Harrow - the same venue where The Who made their name. They recorded a super rare self funded EP on OAK before signing to Decca after winning the Ready Steady Win! competition. Their debut single was the Bo Diddley inspired ‘Bo Street Runner’ with its frenetic Harmonica. 

When this didn’t chart the band’s contract was sold to Columbia who released their final three singles. The pick of these was the jazzy ’Baby Never Say Goodbye’ - which featured Mick Fleetwood on drums, on his way to greater success elsewhere.
