STRANG and MARK COLERIDGE  worked together again in 1989 in a short-lived band
by the name of GIANT , with bassist/vocalist Phil Free and a keyboard player who
we know only as The Professor. They lingered long enough to make one charity
record which is virtually impossible to find and which features drummer Coleridge in an
uncharacteristic role as lead vocalist on one of his own compositions on the flipside.



1996
TIP TOP : "Pop Musik" / "Bikini Power"/
"Goodnight from TIP TOP" / " Spaceman" ( by "BLINDER" )
TIP TOP TRAX - Tip Top 1 CD
 

TIP TOP was the brainchild of STIFFS school pal NIGEL PROCTOR (A.K.A. The "GINGER PRINCE").
This spin-off from the BBC Radio One show "TIP TOP RADIO" features a
rare appearance by STRANG on ....wait for this .....DRUMS !!!
STRANG was the drummer in the spoof covers band "BLINDER", who
had a regular spot on the weekly show playing intentionally 'Ham-fisted' versions of
the latest chart hits. One of their performances , a cover of Babylon Zoo`s "Spaceman"
(Complete with a singer almost overdosing from Helium inhalation !) , was included
on this EP. A 'pilot' TV show was aired but the show was never networked.
