RACEY "lay your love on me" B/W "i believe you" 1978
debut single from this UK boyband(well, thats what theyd call them nowadays anyway!)
"A" side is extremely catchy with its hook...
"B" side has a distinct Smokie feel to it, love that one!
i have their first three singles in my vinyl singles collection.
single peaked at #1 in Australia

"i believe you" ***
sorry guys, but i couldnt find a link to this one!
as a footnote...
their biggest success wasnt one of their songs that they sung but a cover of one of their songs...
Toni Basil had a huge hit in the early 1980s with "mickey"....remember that one?
well, Racey wrote and recorded the original on their debut album "smash and grab" in 1978,
they called the track "kitty", not "mickey"
here is the original version if youre interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLDr5bdAhkc audio link
