5000 Volts (Expanded Edition)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the debut album from the Disco/Pop outfit. 5000 Volts were formed by session vocalists Tina Charles, and Martin Jay. The pair had previously sung together in the group Northern Lights. The duo's first single 'Bye Love,' was released under the name Airbus through Phonogram in West Germany in 1975. a few weeks later Philips in the UK picked up the single but UK DJs preferred the B-side 'I'm on Fire,' penned by producer Tony Ayers, so Philips flipped the single and changed the group's name to the dynamic 5000 Volts. These changes culminated in 'I'm on Fire' spending two months on the UK singles chart peaking at an incredible #4, and also going on to reach #26 on the Billboard singles chart.
