WORKING WEEK 4x12" ACETATES UK 1984 (CBS) 
DESCRIPTION: Lot of FOUR 12" CBS ACETATES. Possibly unplayed. Conditions are (visually) near perfect, however as is typical with old acetates, they play with some surface noise at the beginnings of the tracks, but as I always point out..... will you find another copy? Or in this case FOUR copies, especially as there are usually no more than 4 or 5 copies made, & often less, meaning that these really could be the only copies that were ever made! 
DETAILS 1.) Stella Marina (Main Mix / Hot Jazz Rap) 12" ACETATE 2). Sweet Nothing 12" ACETATE 3). Inner City Blues 2x12" ACETATES. This 2 x 12" set is the most interesting because the 2 'uncredited' sides have recordings too. There are 2 very short cuts on the flip of Inner City Blues, & what sounds like a practise, dub improvisation on the flip of No Cure. Really amazing!
BIOGRAPHY Years Active 1983 – present (39 years)
Members Juliet Roberts Simon Booth Steve White
Working Week were a British Jazz-dance / Soul / Latin musical ensemble, active in the 80s and 90s.
Working Week were formed in 1983 by guitarist Simon Booth and saxophonist Larry Stabbins, who were previously in post punk outfit Weekend. The duo released their début single "Venceremos ( We Will Win)" the following year, a tribute to Chilean protest singer Victor Jara featuring vocal contributions from Robert Wyatt and Tracey Thorn (from Everything But the Girl). It became the band's sole entry in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #64. Singer Julie Tippetts provided vocals for the follow up "Storm of Light".
A début album Working Nights was released in April 1985, with vocalist Juliet Roberts added as a full time member of the band. She also sang on the 1986 album Companeros and Surrender, released in 1987, but left the band after that year's single "Knocking on Your Door". Julie Tippetts returned as vocalist (with other guest vocalists) for the 1989 album Fire in the Mountain, and Yvonne Waite was featured as solo vocalist for 1991's Black and Gold, the band's final studio album.
Politically left-wing, their first album, Working Nights, contained a cover of Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues. Future albums Companeros and Surrender saw them move more towards the mainstream. After Roberts' departure to become a solo artist, they released two further albums with guest vocalists, "Fire in the Mountain" and "Black and Gold".
They appeared on 9 February 1986 at the Royal Albert Hall, in a benefit concert for victims of the 1985 Armero tragedy in Colombia.
The band also briefly featured future Swing Out Sister lead singer Corinne Drewery.
