Remember these? Yargo are possibly Manchester's most forgotten band, formed in the mid 80s, they released the fantastic Bodybeat album on their own label in 1987. Mixing reggae, soul, pop, and blues and fronted by the rich vocals of Basil Clarke they really should've been bigger. A 1989 album on a major label, Communicate, flopped by major label standards although they received widespread coverage in the northwest by soundtracking the titles to Anthony H Wilson's The Other Side Of Midnight telly show (which had The Stone Roses playing Waterfall live amongst others). They also featured trumpet from Andy Diagram who later went on to James. Criminally Manchester's acid house/indie band heaven/'idiot-joy showland' (cheers MES) moved on without them.
