UK Number 40s: Stan - Suntan (1993)

 


There's very little I could find on the internet about this latest number 40. It was the summer of 1993 and this is possibly the first Top 40 hit that got it's influence from Right Said Fred. The trouble was Right Said Fred's days of chart glory were already behind them with their last major hit being the Comic Relief single "Stick It Out" earlier on in the year.

Stan consisted of Simon Andrew on vocals and Kevin Stagg on guitar. I'm unable to find anything about Simon Andrew but Kevin Stagg has be the owner of The Esselle Beat Company since 1982. This was the studio in Brighton where Freak Power recorded their debut album.

One therefore assumes this is a producer just messing around in his studio to make a novelty record.
