Entering parts of my record collection that I have not been to for years. Great thread.

I also loved it. But it was released in 1978!

little bit of leeway allowed?

Another under rated band - The Chameleons.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

little bit of leeway allowed?

None. Not any. At all.

I have discounted loads on this basis! Therefore you must, too.

 

[Peteinblack]

great tune but got to confess to preferring temptation

Glad I'm not the only one! Also loved their "Everything's Gone Green".

Excellent. Yes, criminally under-rated. This was the first song of theirs I ever heard, and have loved them ever since. Their mid-1980s albums are superb; angst-ridden indie guitar rock.

Great band, still going strong. Have got all their albums, and am going to see them live in a fortnight's time (for the 5th time in 6 years)!

If you like that one, try out this remix, celebrating 30 years since the release... (I know it's outside the time frame, but hey ho!)

I know you're all enjoying your music right now, but you do know Glenn Murray has signed don't you?

To which label ?

Magic - may look that gig up. Saw them 3 times in late 70s, including at the Nashville in Fulham (where I spoke to Bowie on another occasion). I have most of their stuff too. Also Githead, with two members from Wire and two from Minimal Compact (another favourite of mine). Cheers!
