Recommended! Part 2 coming soon!
across three ‘themed’ heavyweight 180g coloured vinyls, from ‘jingly-jangly’ indie pop 7”s, the very edge of the new romantic era and into deep dance grooves, many of the tracks contained are extremely hard to find due to not having appeared since the original 80’s releases.
introduced by gary crowley, and containing track-by-track notes, memories are also shared by some of the key icons of the era – “a mad, fast, kaleidoscopic rollercoaster ride where the chancers taking your money not only walked the walk; they backed it up with innovative, amazing tunes that changed the way music was made forever.”
