4 Rare 80s Albums [Part 2]

I am featuring 4 more rare 80s gems as I promised, so what's to grab? ok: Blanket of Secrecy - Walls Have Ears [1982] Blanket of Secrecy was a popular British New Wave rock music trio. The band is notable for the fact that the band members, true to their band name, were never identified, using only pseudonyms (Tinker, Tailor and Soldier), leading to much speculation in the music press regarding their true identity. The band members could be seen in silhouette on the back cover of their one and only LP, 1982's Walls Have Ears in the U.K. (mysteriously renamed Ears Have Walls for its U.S. release). A single from the album, "Say You Will," received considerable airplay on both sides of the Atlantic. Tracklisting: Blanket Of Secrecy - Walls Have Ears [1982] 01 Say You Will 02 Young Heart 03 Love Me Too 04 Remember Me And You 05 Long Cool Glass 06 Photograph 07 Yo Yo 08 Close To Me 09 Something I Don't Need 10 Tell Me Baby 11 Lovers 12 B.O.S. Theme Cee Farrow - Red and Blue Cee Farrow was an 80s new wave/dance band that released one LP, Red And Blue and an EP in 1990. The most known song here is Should I Love You but overall it?s an enjoyable piece of new wave/dance music. The frontman, Chris, passed away in early 90s. Tracklisting: Cee Farrow - Red and Blue [1983] 01 Don't Ask Why 02 Heartbreaking Affair 03 Touched 04 Wildlife Romance 05 Distant Picture 06 Should I Love You 07 Paint It Blue 08 Backwards 09 Lost and Memorized 10 Think of Me Colour Radio - Self-titled (1984) I first heard two singles of this LP in 1984 and fell in love with the band right away! But I was never able to get much information on them. You know those days we did not have access to the internet, just a crappy SW or high quality FM radio! For those who are curiuos, the style is what used to be called as "new wave rock". Tracklisting: Colour Radio - Self-titled (1984) 01 Adrianna Dreams 02 Johnny 03 Dancer 04 Sheila 05 The Beast (In Us All) 06 The Hunter 07 Bound For Life 08 Kathleen 09 Straight From The Heart 10 Stand With You The Nobodys - No Guarantees [1984] The Nobodys' name became a self-fulfilling prophecy; hardly anyone knew who they were when the band disappeared from the music scene. Their debut LP, No Guarantees, reveals that the group deserved a more commercially rewarding fate. The driving synthesized rhythms of "No Guarantees" should've ensured the Nobodys a club hit. However, the Bob Dylan-esque whine of Safeway Goya's voice may have turned off DJs. Goya's vocals are an acquired taste; listeners will either love or loathe them. Nevertheless, Goya sings with passion, even when the lyrics venture into bizarre subject matter. In the hilarious "Just One of Your Legs," Goya says, "Please send me a photograph of your legs." The longing in Goya's voice turns what easily could've been a novelty song into an oddly touching admission of love. The funky "I Am Helpless Without My Computers" is ahead of its time, confessing a dependency on computers for social interaction years before the Internet. "My terminal's been broken all day," Goya laments. "I Scratch" is one of the album's catchiest tracks; with its pulsating keyboards and ragged guitars, the song is also the LP's edgiest number. "They Didn't Offer Me You" is elevated by spiraling riffs. Sadly, all of the talent displayed on No Guarantees went nowhere. Tracklisting: The Nobodys - No Guarantees [1984] 01 No Guarantees 02 I Scratch 03 They Didn't Offer Me You 04 Just One of Your Legs 05 What Can I Do? 06 I Am Helpless Without My Computers 07 Drops of Water 08 The Gang on Fortune Hill 09 I Don't Mind

Hey Robert you're very welcome. If you have any special request, just let me know. If I have it, I'll up it for you.

McHuge (2008-03-15)

I have a request - and this could be a tough one. But do you have "Forward Your Emotions" by One to One?
They had a minor hit back in 1985 called "Angel in My Pocket" from this album. I don't know anyone who has this and since it was never released on CD, it's very rare.
The video for the song is on youtube though...

 80zforever (2008-03-15)

Hi McHuge, I am sure I have Angel in My Pocket and There was a Time from the same LP. I might have this one but needs a trip to the boxes stacked in the storage room lol. see what happens.
