Sad Café were an English soft rock band , which formed in Manchester in the late 1970s. Band members included Paul Young .[ 1] UK Singles Chart in 1979.[
The group's frontman Paul Young got his start with music in the mid 1960s, when he fronted the Toggery Five.[ 1] Jethro Tull — guitarist Mick Abrahams and drummer Clive Bunker .[ 1] [ 1] Mandalaband , which featured Ashley Mulford (guitar ), Vic Emerson (keyboards ), John Stimpson (bass ), Tony Creswell (drums).[ 1] recording contract with Chrysalis Records , but for reasons unknown, the record label shelved a début album finished in 1976.[ 1] RCA Records , some of the songs from their proposed 1976 début were included on Fanx Ta-Ra , issued a year later, which was followed by such further releases as 1978's Misplaced Ideals , and 1979's Façades .[ 1] hit single , "Every Day Hurts".[ 1]
Their next single, "Strange Little Girl", retold the story of the film, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
Sad Café were never able to follow up their single with another substantial hit, and decided to call it a day in 1981, after a few more underappreciated albums saw the light of day (1980's self-titled release, plus 1981's Live and Olé ).[ 1] Eric Stewart produced two Sad Café albums (Façades and Sad Café ). Young would later re-emerge as one of the singers of Mike + The Mechanics , a side project of Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford .[ 1]
The late 1980s saw Young join up once more with Wilson under the Sad Café moniker, issuing 1985's The Politics of Existing (with guest spots by both Rutherford and Paul Carrack ).[ 1] heart attack in Altrincham , Cheshire on 15 July 2000, at the age of 53, effectively ending any hope of further Sad Café offerings

Record Grading
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
I will not refund you if have not read and understood the grading system I use.
To illustrate my point: if I describe a record as Good (G), it's not brand new or excellent - sound quality has noticeably deteriorated and the cover may be damaged with splits or discoloration.
