Most of these reference One Step being the follow-up to The Last Film, or The Last Film being the band's second single, neither of those are true. That makes me think that there is a press release with these claims.

First, some hard facts about this young band. KTP formed in the early '80s, supported The Police on their US tour, and their second single (The Last Film) reached the UK top twenty. Not a bad pedigree, and 'One Step' ought to be good enough to give the lads a break into the Big Three.

Produced by Pete Walsh of Simple Minds reputation, it boats some great varied vocals and a really boppy beat. Equally at home on radio and dance floor, it should appeal to most tastes.

There are plenty of unusual touches to keep the interest, which more than makes up for the rather nondescript lyrics. With a name like 'Kissing the Pink', how can they fail?

With the Benson and Hedges Masters just over it seems an appropriate time to give Kissing the Pink a mention.

Their second single, The Last Film, was probably the best 45 of '83, in my humble opinion. Since then they haven't really come up with anything to match it.

Until now... a new single, One Step, is due out around now. it's a strong soul-sound type dance number, with all the clever electronics you would expect.

This year has seen the emergence of a new, streamlined Kissing The Pink, whose number now totals four. They are set to tour the UK in late February and March — so watch this space.

Note: "Benson and Hedges Masters" is a snooker tournament.

The follow up to The Last Film from a new four-piece Kissing The Pink — hypnotic both rhythmically and vocally — deserves some airplay, although I don't think it will chart. (Colin Craig)
