One of Abbacadabra's best ever releases, 'Voulez Vous', is certainly one of our favourites from Volume 5. It marked a new sound for them and was received unbelievably well. Obsession's beautiful interpretation of 'Without You' is another essential - it has been remixed especially for this release. Gary Barlow gave his approval of Lipstick's 'Back For Good' - it was sent to him and came back with a thumbs up! Two other tunes, 'You Keep Me Hanging On' and 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' both had veteran Hi-NRG remixer Ian Anthony Stephens twiddling the knobs in the remix seat producing two of the best numbers on this album. Also, from around that period of camp mania came our pumped up 'I've Never Been To Me' which was of course featured in the cult Aussie movie 'Priscilla - Queen Of The Desert'
