In the meantime in Belgium : big party at Subway, where the "Take 1" and "Take 2" New Beat-compilations turned gold. While they were organising a party around that event on February 2, a message came in informing everybody that vol.1 had already reached platinum and vol.2 is only 2,000 discs away from achieving the same thing.
The compilation "Take 3" - which was being presented at the same time - had already gone gold just based on the pre-orders alone. 28,000 copies of the CD were about to get shipped immediately. Only because volume 3 is an outstanding example of great New Beat music and it beats the competition with an impossible ease. Nice party by the way, with playback performances of Mac Sample and Miss Nicki Trax and a procession of New Beat-stars, each collecting their copy of the golden CD. Among those Ro Maron who finally admitted his real name is Rembert and he had already received previous gold discs while being with Twee Belgen <a Belgian band, quite popular in the eighties>. Zoogie was being a most convincing erotic dissident and, slightly excited, your editors set out to bump into at least one of the Subway-ladies in person. Only a chat with Joe Morton was the result. And, admittedly, when the tall guy from Confetti's was standing on our toes we kept very very quiet.
On the photo from left to right : Chrismar Chayell (A Split Second), Nikki (Jade 4U), Micky Mike (Snowy Red), Dirty Harry, Chris Inger, Zoogie (Erotic Dissidents), the Boignie Brothers (Taste Of Sugar), Ro Maron (S.M. a.m.o.), Herman Sherman (M, S & B), Wookie Wouters (Wookie Wouters?... ehm, well, Taste Of Sugar) and J.-L. Noë (see Ro Maron). Joe Morton had just stepped outside to take a leak.
