Comment:
Volume 3!It's easy to forget that Simply Red made a great debut before the syrup...and just how great Pete Wylie and his many faces of Wah were...Killing Joke entered the charts...The Room were produced by Tom Verlaine...The March Violets had a luverly singer name of Cleo who could actually sing...Squeeze, Siouxsie and the ever present Mark E.Smith were still there and a relatively new band appeared called The Smiths..Weller had in the eyes of many gone soft and wore a beret down at the wine bar...Felt were just never going to make it...ABC made one of the finest pop albums..Cope had finally exploded into solo lysergy....The Bunnymen made their last great album...and Soft Cell were still dancing madly through puddles of sperm....ahhhh the Eighties!
Feedback:
Fantastic again Dom.
I'm with Curtis on this one.
Lots to like here, Dom. I don't think that was a great time for music, but you have picked perhaps the best of what was around at the time. I agree with you about Simply red. Their early stuff was nice and I also like the inclusion of The Fall (always good) and Echo & Squeeze.
That Simply red track are good but the original version (Valentine brothers) are awesome stuff, but I dig most of this too
amazing! a lot of old favourites on here.
Great mix with excellent disc comments. The Eighties, indeed.
Nice mix. Lots of good stuff here.
And the hits keep coming. Another nice one!
Though on the whole I'm with Gerry re comments about the era; this goes to show some top tunes WERE around back then. & Misters Cope and Smith work for me just about every time.
