i love the first record; 'sense and sensuality' not so much.
it's heartening to see that so many people who followed them in their heyday are here. i was less than 2 when this came out.
This amazing song by this amazing group was played all the time on Hofstra University's (yes where they had the debate) radio stations show "Post Punk Progressive Pop Party" back in 1981. 27 Years ago!!!!

Ya know...I STILL think the Au Pairs' show I saw was one of the best gigs in my youth. I have a fond memory of seeing them in NYC at the Pep Lounge when in high school.I was drunk since they went on so damned late (remember when bands went on late?) and glued to the stage edge,mezmerized. Now I'm 44 and STILL think it was the best gig I ever went to. This music still rocks, just a great combo of musicians, lyrics and vocals. Many nights spent dancing to this tune in the clubs too!

I can't tell you how many times I put this song at house parties back in those days. Running over to the turntable and dropping down the needle..."you're equal! but different!"....everyone screaming and dancing.

YES! The minute we heard the beginning of the tune, everyone ran onto the dance floor...then if it was the long mix, we were all exausted by the end. Of course, now I would have a heart attack and die after the first 3 minutes of dancing - but I would die so happy. "Yes, its nice...its paradise...."
hi there,yep last time i looked it was me.who's asking?...not the FBI i hope!
