The Big Supreme (1986-87)

After Bonk, Barry Flynn formed Big Supreme. Although on the cover of the vinyl releases Big Supreme are featured as a trio (Flynn plus a couple of unnamed girls) the band was mainly Flynn’s solo project. Despite the change of name and look, the music was not that dissimilar from Bonks (so much so that on a limited edition 10” maxi single, among BS’s original track appeared also a live version of Bonk’s The Smile & the Kiss). The first single by Big Supreme was out in 1986:

Don’t Walk (1986)
- Don’t Walk (Extended Version)
- Don’t Walk
- My Addiction

It entered the charts, where it remained for three weeks, reaching position 58.
The second single was released later the same year:

Let’s Turn Our Love around (1986)
- Let’s Turn Our Love around
- He’ll Deceive



In 1987 Big Supreme released their third single:

Please Yourself (1987)
- Please Yourself
- Keep on Pushing



This single also made the charts, reaching position 64.
In the second half of the year there were two other releases to come out: first a promo 10” single containing a handful of current and past hits penned by Flynn, and the firth and final single, Remind Me.

Limited Edition 10” Single (1987)
- Please Yourself (Extended Version)
- Don’t Walk (Extended Version)
- The Smile and the Kiss (Live)
- Keep on Pushing


Remind Me (1987)
- Remind Me
- What Love Means



There is a Big Supreme compilation (Pot Shots) going around on the net, containing their singles plus various extended versions, but it is not an original release.

Hi there. The Pot Shots compilation was something I put together for my blog a couple of years ago. Something they should have released, though.
