Haven't heard it for aaaaaages!.Don't think Absolute 80's will play that one anytime soon!.
I bought 'The Crunch' by the same band.Came on TOTP dressed in black plastic bags.
I loved the 80's and the music.Driving round in my MK1 Golf GTI listening to OMD and the likes.Happy days!.

That still gets played a lot, no way has it been forgotten.

All I Need Is Everything is more a hidden gem, wasn't even a big hit at the time.

Yes! And a classic it was, as well! Wonderful song!

And, going up-tempo, somewhat, this great track, which had so much power and energy:

The 80s were a really shitty time in the country, yet Britain produce the best music. 80s British music is the best, way ahead of anything out of America.

Icicle Works - Love Is A Wonderful Colour
Fiction Factory - Feels Like Heaven
Howard Jones - Hide and Seek
Wah - Come Back
Wylie - Sinful
New Musik - Living By Numbers
Random Hold - Avalanche
Squares - Airebeat (doubt anyone out of Yorkshire would know this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESOabuupG-A damn I just saw it's 1979, oh well, nearly)

Coldcut - Doctorin The House was great in the late 80s. Loads of great Scottish bands as well like Big Dish and Love and Money.

Two songs that weren't hits and aren't heard very often

Jesse Rae - "Over the sea"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOad0FU9zF8
(Are those the Twin towers of New York at 1:18 in the video?)

Sal Solo "Music and You"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpB6_VncifY

Both 1985 I think.

Also seen in 'So Far Away' by Dire Straits, and Tina Turner's 'What's Love Got To Do With It'. Very sad.

She was such a great singer, I don't know why she did the beehive gimmick because it took focus away from what a great singer she was. Wonder whatever happened to her?
