"CHEAPSKATE" WAS AN ALIAS USED BY CAMERON SYRETT WHO BECAME A LONG-TIME COUNTRY RADIO D. J.
"ROLLER DANCIN'" WAS ISSUED ON THE K-TEL ALBUM "ACTION REPLAY" IN 1978.
CHEAPSKATE (CAMERON) HAD HIS SONG OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED AS A SINGLE IN 1981.
TODAY THE SONG IS REGARDED AS A CLASSIC DISCO HIT AND MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW OF ITS AUSSIE ORIGIN. IT WAS MADE TO CASH IN ON THE ROLLER DANCING CRAZE THAT CAME WITH TEEN MOVIES OF THE TIME.
NOWADAYS CAMERON IS WORKING ON RADIO 2KA (COOL COUNTRY RADIO). IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CORRESPOND HIS LAST KNOWN E-MAIL WAS: c_syrett@hotmail.com
THIS DOWNLOAD IS THE EXTENDED TOM MIX 12" WHICH IS 5:30 MINS. THE ORIGINAL 7" SINGLE WAS ONLY 3 MINS LONG. IT WAS OVER BEFORE YOU COULD GET YOUR SKATES ON (LOL).
