All songs written by Michael Bennett & Bagman (1996)
Vocals - Michael Bennett

This was the last album with original music we recorded.
These are just a selection from the album.
"Bagman formed in early 1994, taking their name from an obscure story published in an early edition of 'The Gentleman's Esquire'.
With a mix of matchless pop and bruising R&B they released their first British single called "FACES" on Platinum Records (cat PR101 dist Scratch/BMG), which was produced by ex-Kajagoogoo bassman Nick Begs. This was played on Radio 1 and several independant radio stations.
