4 Rare 80s Albums [Part 115] New Romantic, Post-Punk, Rock

Here we have 4 ultra obscure and hard to find LPs to listen and Lyon in Winter - As Winter Falls [1986] It is a private press album out of New York from a multi-talented American musician. He works through 7 songs of synth pop rock with ease. He’s got a good voice to add to the overall package and a solid backing band who handles the percussion steadily….As in most cases when a Saxophone is present on these vinyl new wavers, it adds a nice touch throughout A1 I Dream 4:04 A2 Summer 3:56 A3 The Haunting Moon 3:33 A4 Push! Pound! 2:34 B5 As Winter Falls 4:06 B6 Please Don't... 3:53 B7 The Change 3:38 RAF - The Heat's On [1981] Very nice UK 80's band. Well crafted songs by singer and keyboard player David Valentine. RAF stands for , Rich and Famous. This dream never came true. 1 Easy Come Is Easy Go 2 Borrowed Time 3 Talking Pictures 4 Miracles 5 Holocaust 6 Miracles (Reprise) 7 I Can't Get Started 8 You Can't Hold Back Now 9 Stop Her on Sight 10 The Heat's On 11 Tightrope Short Romans - Short Romans [1987] Excellent LP from this talented German band. Consisted of Dirk Draeger, Heinz Weber and Mef Komorek. If you like Comsat Angels, then this will be your kind of music. A1 Radio 5:05 A2 White Sails 4:10 A3 Invade Your Star 3:40 A4 Let the Fires Burn 4:53 A5 Linda 4:38 B1 So Far Away 3:36 B2 What Makes the World Go Round 3:34 B3 Jealous Way 3:46 B4 You Were on My Mind 3:22 B5 Eclipse of the Moon 3:55 B6 It's Got Me 3:33 The Contractions - Something Broke [1984] An all girls triplet band consisted of Debbie Hopkins, Kathy Peck and Mary Kelley. Even their producer was a girl too. They made an attempt to ride the new wave bandwagon with this record, but as you know the rest is history. They remained obscure and without a contract. A1 Voices Do Repeat 4:32 A2 No Matter 2:43 A3 Life and Death 3:17 A4 Early Warning 3:45 A5 Rank and Vile 3:16 B1 Waiting Game 3:40 B2 Vampyre's Song 3:25 B3 Death of Romance 2:37 B4 Bewitching Me 3:44 B5 Fifteen 4:47

Superb stuff Dan. John Foxx's "Pleasures Of Electricity" album cover is virtually a carbon copy of that RAF sleeve, wonder if that's pure coincidence? Cheers for the heads up on the Interplay album, a fine listen like you say and I'm going to see him perform it live here in Liverpool this month.
Sorry to hear you're contemplating retirement, PB without 80z doesn't bear thinking about! Having said that we've been blessed with more than we could ever have hoped for. I can think of no finer benefactor on the net.
cheers mate

welcome guys.
white_arcades, I had not thought of that before but I am sure John Foxx did not even know who RAF was lol by the way I hope life is back to normal for you. Enjoy the John Foxx concert. It's a shame we don't get to see him in North America. Cheers man

Hi Johnny, thx for the comment and sorry for the error in Blue in Heaven rip. I have done a few rips from different vinyls and I was never happy with any of them. When I posted it i thought it was the best rip, but apparently I was wrong as I did not give it a listen. If time permits, I will re-upload it from a better source. saty cool! cheers
