You meet some interesting people in charity shops and yesterday we got chatting to a chap who's brother was the lead singer (I think) in a Liverpool new wave band called Cook Da Books. They were a new name to me but this track, a bit of a reggae groover, was their biggest single, reaching number 18 in the charts back in 1982.
Here's another one from 1984, shades of The Blue Nile at their finest in there perhaps?
The band split in 1988 and sadly their singer and bassist Owen passed away in 2022 but from what I've heard so far their back catalogue's well worth a listen.
