    Building on the success of their debut "Dive!", "Take California" was the breakthrough single for the Props, reaching #69 in the UK charts.

    The eponymous vocal is from a '60s Nightshift".

    A more laidback affair than its predecessor Take California And Party" with the Jungle Brothers on rap duties, but big beat was over by then and it didn't chart. (7)

      The photo of OJ Simpson carrying the Olympic torch in Santa Monica before the LA 1984 Olympic Games gets me every time I see this record.
