"Loaded Dice" by The Dice

Now that I set the scene for this blog with a few posts, I would like start to bring out of the obscurity some of these 80's songs that I was listening on the radio at the time.

The first one is this song called "Loaded Dice" by a French band named The Dice. I only remember it because I was going some months back through my old collection of 45 RPM records and found this forgotten treasure.

The Dice - "Loaded dice" - 1980

  

  

I have subsequently been searching the web for information about The Dice. The information available through Google is sparse, which is a sign of how obscure this band has become.

Still, I found that the band was composed of the following band members:

• Pascal Stive - keyboards, synthesizers, musical direction
• J.M. Deulin - lead vocalist
• Elaine Rowan - vocalist
• Bruno Lambert - sound engineer
• Marc Miller - Management

The "Loaded dice" 45 RPM record was followed-up by the release of a 33 RPM album called "Broken rules" which contained the following tracks:

Side 1:

01. Broken Rules
02. Life Line
03. Hooker
04. It's Your Money I Love
05. Walking On Ice

Side 2:
01. Loaded Dice
02. High Time
03. Terrified
04. Funny People
05. Danger Warning

The Dice apparently evolved, changed name and became New Dice.
