It's well established that I'm a freak for vinyl. So when I see an album in shrink wrap, featuring an attractive female singer that I do not recognize, with a name like Fizzy Qwick AND on the Motown label for $5 at Goodwill? That would be like offering me Sticky Buds of weed with purple hairs in the 80s - too good to resist.
Fizzy had one low charting hit on this album which some reviewers had likened to The Supremes, but I don't know how accurate that is. Take a listen for yourself to this number #71 R&B hit “Hangin’ Out” from 1986
Prone to research as I am, I found that Fizzy had a previous album under a different name, which I needed to hunt down. So that's when I found this Tiggi Clay album from 1984 with a lyric sheet insert and yellow vinyl. These little details are shots of dopamine for audiophiles. This album, too, had a low charting #86 R&B hit with more of a raw, new wave sound called "Flashes".
Sometimes the records don't have hit songs. It's the hunt and find, the research, the chart positions, and the "I have that in my collection!" that is preparing me for the idiot savant ramblings of my future in a padded cell.
