Did you mean Together In Electric Dreams by Phil Oakey and Georgio Moroder, Mr Pedant?  :D

That was the 12" version 

The 7" was just called Electric Dreams for obvious reasons

that must be a scaled down picture of the 12"

the title had too many words and couldn't fit on 7", so they changed it

I know it was Oakey and him out of Kraftwerk - it was on the soundtrack of that film about the fit robot and two geeks, The Lady in Red.

The two beardy twats (and Strongbow) only had a copy taped off the radio and THEY thought it was The Human League.

Oakey had had 48 cans of Strongbow Super delivered to his dosshouse HMO 'unit' as payment for the rights, so didn't rock the boat correcting them.

Moroder is of course brown bread.

 Georgia Moroder was never remotely anywhere near being in Kraftwerk. They were contemporaries, he was never a band member. He was an Italian producer and early pioneer of dance electronica such as I feel love, and supernature by Cerrone.

And the Wanky Wanderers tune.

You say he wasn't, I say he was.

Let's agree to disagree.

He either was or wasn’t; which was it?

Useless factoid, one of Georgio Moroder's earliest UK hits was Son Of My Father by Chicory Tip in 1972

Fucking hell, that's a bit of a shocker. Nikki Grahame from Big Brother. Only 38. Anorexia.

Price of reality TV and wannabe famedom? I'll be honest, this is my initial and uneducated response. To die in such a manner will always be tragic. 

Never really liked her whenever I saw her in TV, but hopefully she has found peace.

Nothing to do with anything like that. Anorexia is a proper serious illness. I'm making assumptions, but like you, I always thought it was "just a vain girl who wants to be thin and has took it too far", but it's far from that. They literally can't eat. My sister works with a few Anorexics in a nursing capacity. Sadly, very few recover.
