Foundations "Back To The Beat" 1983 UK 8-track 10"LP

The group, made up of West Indians, Caucasians, and a Sri Lankan, is best known for their two biggest hits, "Baby, Now That I've Found You" (a Number One written by Tony MacCaulay and Mike McCleod, hit in the UK singles chart, and subsequently Top 10 in the U.S.); and "Build Me Up Buttercup" (a chart topper in the Billboard Hot 100), co-written by MacCaulay with Michael d'Abo, at the time the lead vocalist with Manfred Mann...
...The make up of the group drew much interest and intrigue due to the size and structure of the group. Not only was there a diverse ethnic mix in the group but there was also diversity in ages and musical backgrounds. Here was a mix of youth and experience. The oldest member of the group was Mike Elliott who was 38 years old. The youngest was Tim Harris who at 18 was barely out of school. The Horn section that consisted of Mike Eliott, Eric Allendale, Pat Burke were all highly experienced musicians who came from professional Jazz and rock n roll backgrounds. Alan Warner the guitarist was also an experienced musican for his age, having played with numerous semi pro groups since age 16.
"Build Me Up Buttercup" became a hit again in 1998 when it was featured in the ending credits of the comedy film, There's Something About Mary. The group's original recordings are now owned by Sanctuary Records, though it is said that the sound quality on 'Buttercup,' unlike the other hits, is quite poor sounding like a dub from the original single. - from wiki
