Cinerama


Another recent Paisley purchase was Va Va Voom the 1998 debut by Cinerama.on the Cooking Vinyl label.
Cinerama were a side project of David Gedge from The Wedding Present with his then girlfriend Sally Murrell

Va Va Voom contains the usual clever Gedge lyrics in songs primarily about love affairs and break ups.

Big Peel favourites Cinerama were number one in the 2003 Festive Fifty with Don't Touch That Dial.
