Ah, but it wasn't in the charts this week in 1979!

I hate this Dire Straits track. Sounds more 1982/3 ish from them to me. Not a sound of '79 to me in any way whatsoever.

Well- shows they were ahead of their time..

Funny. I heard Offshore Banking Business on the radio only last night.

A kind of post punk Dreadlock Holiday.

Don't remember this white Reggie toon.

Foreshadowing Mrs T's 'liberation' of British enterprise. ;-)>:(

The singer looks like the pupil who was always trying to be hard in 'Please Sir!'. Was it Frankie Abbot?

Robbie01 · 03/04/14 - 19:45

A fairly decent attempt at reggae by The Members. But I do like 'Offshore Banking Business'.

Maybe Noel modelled himself on that bloke.

Lyrics intact for Cool For Cats this time as they're miming this week.

Every week's a miming week on TOTP.

I do, sadly! Sounded better at the time...

Tell them to go away and don't come back!

It completely ripped off The Only Ones Another Girl Another Planet from the year before.

And now back to the classics.

TopPop footage for the Jacksons.

Just posted the same. To be fair in 1979 I was 6 so I don't "remember" any of this music from its time, only having heard it over the years.

The Members......there's a few jokes to be made there, but I'll resist.

Very un-reMemberable.
