Great song! I have it on 7" vinyl and like yourself haven`t played/heard it for many years. Do you have it on a various artists compilation or a Blancmange one?

Another favourite song of mine from that era is `Visions In Blue` by Ultravox.

Already got Visage`s greatest hits but will get Blancmange and OMD as well as Ultravox. Fantastic value by the way, three albums for a tenner you say! Bit more expensive is John Foxx`s `The Garden` recently remastered double cd set which I bought a short while ago but is rather good and worth it I felt.

Just picked up a double CD (their two albums repackaged) of the Kane Gang. Fantatstic. I feel like it is the 1980s again!........I wish!

I recently got Beat Dis: The Very Best Of Bomb The Bass. I only bought it as it was £2.99 in Amazon's sale but rediscovered Don't Make Me Wait. Oh my god, what an awesome song - takes me back!

Good call profhat. I will be playing it this evening. I can feel an 80s weekend coming on.

 

[up the music]

Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth
Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age Of Wireless

Whilst we're on an 80's thing.
I'd not heard these for ages until I dloaded them recently.
There's some good test pieces on there too.

Thomas Dolby is wonderful especially his lyrics. The album Alians Ate My Biuck makes me laugh out loud while tapping my toes to the beat.

I love anything by Talking Heads also and all there albums have been remasterd and come with a free DVD-Audio mix in 5.1. Can be bought at Amazon for just over £5.00. Get shopping!

Other 80's album I still bring out to play are Steve Winwood "Back In The High Life"

Yes - 90125 ,

The Ruts-The Crack

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Quincy Jones - The Dude

China Crisis - Best of

The Christians

A lot of the above are great pop albums also.

 

[shado]

Don't forget:

Scritti Polliti - with Absolute and Wood Beez

Thompson Twins - Best of

ABC - Lexicon of Love

Matt Bianco - Whose side are you on

Bryan Ferry - Roxy Music

Tears for Fears - Mad World

sigh, happy days.
