4 Rare 80s Albums [Part 104] New Wave, Power Pop

Another batch of fine 80s new wave/power pop records. If you are as old as I am, you will remember the explosion of talented bands between 1979 and 1983, the time when WE would pick what to listen to, and there plenty to choose from. Enjoy and seed. BB Gabor - Girls of the Future [1981] Bette Bright & the Illuminations - Rhythm Breaks The Ice [1982] Robin Lane & The Chartbusters [1980] Sue Saad and the Next - Sue Saad and the Next [1980]

Nice surprise. Logged in to get a copy of live 'thunderstruck' and I see you're back. Thanks. Saw BBGabor in Montreal backing the Clash at Theatre St. Denis and Robin Lane in Boston. Thanks for the memories. Forgot my login so had to create another.

steevo-be-thy-name, to answer your question, some of these bands had local cults or in other words were known in their own backyard, so not even all over the US.
What I intended by starting these series was to give people the chance to re-discover this music and go beyond the mainstream 80s we all know and experience new "old" music.
By the way thanks to everyone for the comments. It's great to see old buddies around!

Thank YOU!!!
Looking for the second "The Other Ones" album: Learning to Walk
Also...Ecstasy by Torch Song. This was William Orbits second album after the excellent Wish Thing!

I LOVE the Sue Saad and The Next album! I've been looking for this for many years.
Any chance you could upload this as a CD quality 320kbps torrent? I'd be forever grateful.

Crakktastical, Sue Saad was a vinyl rip I did a while back and I don't have the vinyl record anymore. So this is the only copy available on my HD. sorry man.

Understood - I truly appreeciate the Sue Saad, its no exageration when I say I've been looking for this for many years. And the Jack Green upload was FANTASTIC - I've been listening non-stop - Thanks again!
