Stop Making Sense is one of my favourite music films. Love the way it builds to a crescendo, and the music is pretty damn good too.

I had, and still have, many reggae 12" singles that blew my tiny mind. So instead I'll go for something completely different, and perhaps more up the OP's street.

1982, dance heaven:

Top choice, although always preferred this remix. Still have it somewhere, it's like walking into Coasters down those few steps all over again.

 

[Barrow Boy]

I also had, and loved, Two tribes 12", but here are tracks from two 80's bands I loved and (imho) have stood the test of time,





Plus this version of an all time classic that I remember dancing to in a disco in Llorett back in 1977, not a pretty sight!

Uh huh

I was going to post this. I first heard it playing in HMV on Oxford St. Didn't know who or what it was but absolutely blew me away.

I love any version of it, immense back in the day, I still play it now. Brings great, carefree memories too.

This wasn't my usual cup of tea music wise but there was just something about Eartha that did it for me....

There is only this. the most iconic 12 inch ever. Welcome to the pleasure dome came close though.

Brilliant.

This too, I’ve always loved the seamless transition midway through between the two songs. Not bad at all for 1981 technology.

There was a limited edition 45rpm 12" which also had Do The Robot on the B side.

That's the one. It's in the shed. Maybe not the best place for it.....
