Tracie! "Give It Some Emotion" 1983 - 12"/45rpm EP
Tracie Young (often just billed as Tracie; born 25 March 1965) is a former English pop singer in the 1980s. She achieved success after becoming a protégée of Paul Weller. Born in Derby, England, Young was discovered by The Jam frontman, Paul Weller, through an advertisement in Smash Hits magazine for his Respond Records label. The ad solicited demo tapes from female singers between the ages of 18 and 24, for the purpose of hiring a vocalist alongside the group The Questions. Although just 17 years old, Young replied and sent Weller a cassette of a Phoebe Snow-inspired version of the Betty Wright hit "Shoorah Shoorah". Young's tape was singled out from among the hundreds received, and shortly thereafter was invited to London for an audition. Performing old soul numbers "Band of Gold" and "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" for the audition, Young impressed Weller enough to win the job and become his priority signing for the Respond label...to be continued... - wiki

Tracie! "The House That Jack Built" 1983 - 7"/45rpm Single
...Before recording solo work for Respond, Weller sought to increase exposure for Young. He promptly used her for backing vocals on The Jam's final single, "Beat Surrender", which was released on 26 November 1982 and became the band's fourth No. 1 single. Weller also had Young join the group for their appearance on Top of the Pops to promote the song. In January 1983, Young contributed vocals for The Style Council's first single, "Speak Like a Child", and also appeared in the promotional video for the song.[6] As an unofficial member of the group, Young toured with The Style Council for part of 1983, while also performing as a solo artist as part of a Respond package tour. Young was featured on the cover of the 9 April 1983 issue of New Musical Express with the banner "Tracie: The girl star Paul Weller would build". She was also voted "Most Fanciable Female" in Smash Hits 1983 readers' poll...to be continued... - wiki

Tracie! "(I Love You) When You Sleep" 1983 - 12"/45rpm EP
...Signed to Respond, she had UK hit singles in March 1983 with "The House That Jack Built" and, in July, with "Give it Some Emotion" (both credited simply to 'Tracie'). Her debut album, Far from the Hurting Kind, was released in 1984 under the name Tracie. It was reissued in Japan in 1996. Weller produced and backed the record and wrote some of the songs. A featured track was the Elvis Costello song "(I Love You) When You Sleep", which he wrote for her.
Young recorded with The Style Council again in 1985, contributing backing vocals to the song "Boy Who Cried Wolf", a single taken from the album Our Favourite Shop.
Respond ceased operations in 1986 and Young was briefly signed by Polydor. The second album she recorded whilst signed to Polydor, titled No Smoke Without Fire, was never released by them. It was eventually released in May 2014 by Cherry Red Records...to be continued... - wiki

Tracie! "Souls On Fire" 1983 - 12"/45rpm EP
...Since the late 1990s, Young has enjoyed a second career as a radio presenter, currently working at Radio Essex and also Connect FM in Peterborough and Northamptonshire. In 2009, Young did a one-off gig, supporting Billy Franks (formerly of The Faith Brothers) at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. The show was on 6 June 2009 and Young was backed by the Southend rock band, Soliss. In the wake of the show, Young released a self-produced, limited edition six-song EP of previously released material, titled It Happened One Night... And Other Songs. In 2010, with the co-operation of Young, Cherry Red Records reissued her 1984 debut Far from the Hurting Kind, marking the first time the album has been available in the UK on CD. The 20 track CD features the 10 tracks from the original album release plus 10 bonus tracks. - wiki

The Questions "Price You Pay" 1983 - 12"/45rpm EP
They formed in the summer of 1977 at St. Augustine's High School in Edinburgh, and performed their first gig in December of that year at St. Margaret's Church Hall in Davidson's Mains, a suburb of Edinburgh. The following year, they sent a demo tape of rehearsals to Bruce Findlay of Bruce's Records Shop, which led to signing a recording contract with Zoom Records in Edinburgh in 1978. The band's first single was "Some Other Guy" backed with "Rock & Roll Ain't Dead" (August 1978). They were crowned Young Band of the Year by Southern Television on Saturday Banana in December 1978...to be continued... - wiki

The Questions "Tuesday Sunshine" 1984 - 12"/45rpm EP
..."I Can't Get Over You" b/w "Answers" followed in January 1979. The band subsequently left school in June 1980 and came to the attention of Paul Weller, with "Get Away From it All", a track that was never officially released. The band supported The Jam at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre on the first of many occasions in October 1980, and signed to Weller's fledgling Respond Records in 1981. The Questions contributed three songs to Respond's Love the Reason album - "Work and Play", "Building on a Strong Foundation" and "Give It Up Girl". They also contributed to the track "Mama Never Told Me" with Tracie Young as Tracie & The Questions. Many tours, TV appearances and singles followed, including "Work and Play", "Tear Soup" and "Price You Pay". In 1983, band members Paul Barry and John Robinson penned the Top 10 hit "The House That Jack Built" for fellow Respond Records label mate Tracie Young. They would go on to write three additional songs - "I Can't Hold on Till Summer", "Moving Together" and "What Did I Hear You Say" - for Young's debut LP, Far From the Hurting Kind. In 1984, Belief, the band's only full-length album was finally released.[3] "Tuesday Sunshine" and "A Month of Sundays" were released as singles. The album did not sell well, and the band played its final concert on 30 November 1984, at the 100 Club in Oxford Street, London. After a twelve-year wait, Belief was issued on CD by the Japanese label Trattoria Records. The re-issue included the album's original eleven songs, plus eight previously unreleased tracks. - wiki
