Krush - House Arrest (1987)


Krush hailed from Nottingham, UK, and consisted of Mark Gamble, Cassius Campbell and record producers Mark Brydon and Robert Gordon as as well as vocalist Ruth Joy, whose real name is Ann Saunderson and, not least because of the coincidence of the chart success timing, was a long time assumed and rumoured to be the wife of Kevin Saunderson.
Mark went on to have continued success with a variety of other projects within house/dance music: most notable in the mid 1990s with vocalist Róisín Murphy, as the producer of Moloko.
Krush's 'House Arrest' was one the first songs I ever recorded back in the 80s on the Stereo Cassette Recorder I so proudly purchased from the gift money for my Coming-of-Age celebrations.
