Considered a Christmas song, it has been released on various Christmas compilation albums.

Tracklist: 01.Spandau Ballet - To Cut A Long Story Short (Mix 1) (6:31) 02.Spandau Ballet - To Cut A Long Story Short (Version) (Mix 2) (3:57) "To Cut a Long Story Short" is a 1980 song by Spandau Ballet. It was their debut single and reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart. It appeared on the album Journeys to Glory. The song has been speculated to be about a veteran, perhaps of Vietnam, who is drafted and suffers from PTSD; the lyrics are told from the man's point of view as a boy being drafted, how he gets no answers as to why he must join the war. "To Cut a Long Story Short" was Vince Clarke's inspiration to write Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough", to which the keyboard style bears a certain similarity. The signature riff from "To Cut a Long Story Short" is used as a sample looping throughout the Freestylers track "In Love with You" on their album Adventures in Freestyle.

Tracklist: 01.Visage - Fade To Grey (6:15) 02.Visage - The Steps (3:15) "Fade to Grey" is the second single by the British pioneers of the New Romantic movement Visage, released on Polydor Records in 1980. The song was the band's most successful single. It entered the singles charts in late 1980, peaking at no. 8 in the UK Singles Chart and reaching no. 1 in Germany and Switzerland. Steve Strange was on lead vocals; the French lyrics were spoken by Rusty Egan's Belgian girlfriend Brigitte Arens. The music video became one of the first videoclips that Kevin Godley and Lol Creme directed, before they became known for their works with the Police, Duran Duran and Herbie Hancock. The song features the same lyrics in two languages, English and French. The English lyrics are sung, whereas the French lyrics are spoken by a female voice. Steve Strange and Midge Ure both claimed to have been the one who came up with the idea for the French vocal in the track. On the finished track, the French vocal was performed by Brigitte Arens, a young student from Luxembourg who was Rusty Egan's girlfriend at the time. On the album, the song is credited to Billy Currie, Chris Payne and Midge Ure. In his 2002 autobiography, Strange said it was not fair to credit the song to Ure, Currie and Payne only, since his input was significant and he was "the focal point of the group". Currie and Payne worked on the instrumental part during the sound checks on Gary Numan's 1979 tour. Cedric Sharpley, the drummer of Numan's backing band, was also heavily involved. In those days it was called "Toot City". While setting the track listing of the Visage album, Midge Ure suggested the use of the melody and wrote the song's lyrics.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Careless Memories (3:46) 02.Duran Duran - Fame (3:18) 03.Duran Duran - Khanada (3:27) "Careless Memories" is the second single by Duran Duran, released on 20 April 1981. The band's debut single "Planet Earth" had been a Top 20 hit, so it was regarded as a major setback when "Careless Memories" stalled at No. 37 in the UK charts, particularly as it was to herald the June release of the debut album Duran Duran. It has since come to light that the decision to release the single was not the band's but EMI's. After its failure, executives decided to let Duran Duran choose their own single releases. The band's first selection was "Girls on Film" and it duly became their first Top 5 hit in the UK. The song "Khanada" (pronounced "keh-NAY-duh") was included as the B-side to the single. It is reported to have been written for fashion designer Jane Kahn who owned, with partner Patti Bell, the Hurst Street shop Kahn & Bell where Duran Duran (and numerous other clubgoers of the day) shopped for clothes. "Careless Memories" is one of three original-era singles that didn't include a remix of the title track (although the fade-out on the 12" is slightly longer), the other two being "Save A Prayer" and "A View to a Kill". To compensate for this, EMI issued a bonus B-side on the 12", a faithful cover of David Bowie's "Fame". However, the "Careless Memories" 12" version fades out at 3:44 seconds, the 7" version three seconds earlier at 3:41. The 7" version is included in the "Singles Box Set 1981-1985" but runs to 3:44 as it includes three seconds of silence after the fade out. The album version has a cold end.
Tracklist: 01.Human League - The Sound Of The Crowd (Complete) (6:28) 02.Human League - The Sound Of The Crowd (Instrumental) (4:10) "The Sound of the Crowd" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. It became the band's commercial breakthrough, reaching #12 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1981. Written jointly by lead singer Philip Oakey and keyboard player Ian Burden, the song was recorded at Genetic Sound Studios, Reading, in March 1981. Originally released as a stand-alone single in April 1981, it was subsequently re-recorded and incorporated into the studio album Dare, later in the year. "The Sound Of The Crowd" was the first Human League song to feature female vocals, from new band members Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall, interacting with Philip Oakey's baritone lead. Apart from the catchy imperatives such as "Get in line now!" and "Get around town!", the song contains some more obscure lyrics such as "Make a shroud pulling combs through a backwash frame" and "Stroke a pocket with a print of a laughing sound". Discussing the song in a 2009 interview Ian Burden said: On The Sound of the Crowd I scribbled down some stream-of-consciousness words so that I could demonstrate the vocal parts to him (Oakey) without having to do the naff la-la-la-hum-hum-hum type of explanation. He went off and wrote a new chorus vocal, but surprisingly kept my verse lyrics! The single was the first to feature a distinctive, though short-lived, marketing tactic, where Human League singles were labelled 'Red' or 'Blue' to help buyers differentiate between the band's musical styles. 'Red' was for dance tracks, 'Blue' for pop songs. "The Sound Of The Crowd" was designated 'Red'. When asked to explain the system, vocalist Sulley explained that "Red is for posers, for Spandy (Spandau Ballet) types." Oakey added: "Blue is for ABBA fans." The group first appeared on Top of the Pops to perform the song on 30 April 1981 when it was at no. 53 in the UK Singles Chart. The single entered the UK Top 40 a week later at no. 34 and after three weeks it reached its peak position of no. 12. A second Top of the Pops performance took place on 21 May 1981 when the single was at no. 15. The original 7" B side "The Sound of the Crowd (Add Your Voice)" is an instrumental remix of the A side, an edit of which was later used as the closing track of the remix album Love and Dancing, issued in 1982 under the name of The League Unlimited Orchestra. A longer instrumental version of "The Sound of the Crowd" featured as the B side to the 12" release.

(Short Mix) (4:09) 03.Duran Duran - Faith In This Colour (4:07) "Is There Something I Should Know?" is the eighth single by British band Duran Duran, released on 19 March 1983. The song was released as a stand-alone single and became the band's first UK number one record. It debuted in the number one position on the UK Singles Chart on 26 March 1983. The single also had great success in America, where it was released in late May: it reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 6 August 1983 and sold more than a million copies. "Is There Something I Should Know?" was recorded in London, with producer Ian Little in December 1982. Although generally regarded as a stand-alone single, it was added to the 1983 US re-issue of the band's 1981 debut album, Duran Duran. The first album on which the song featured in the UK was the inaugural Now That's What I Call Music compilation at the end of the year. The singles from the Duran Duran album did not receive much airplay in the United States on the album's first release; both the band and the New Romantic fashion style were unknown, and very few British bands were able to break into American radio at that time. However, by the end of 1982, the band's Rio album was rapidly climbing the American charts, fueled by saturation airplay of various Duran Duran videos on MTV. The band and their label, Capitol/EMI, decided to re-release the debut album in the United States with the inclusion of this newly recorded single. Because of the time limitations of vinyl records, the inclusion of "Is There Something I Should Know?" required the omission of the album track "To The Shore" on the reissue. "To The Shore" was reinstated on later compact disc pressings. "Is There Something I Should Know?" was the song Duran Duran used to open their 1983/84 Seven and the Ragged Tiger album tour shows with and also Duran Duran's charity concert at Aston Villa football ground 1983. In a retrospective review of the song, Allmusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco wrote that the lyrics "deal with a difficult romantic relationship in rather obtuse terms." Guarisco highlighted what he described as "odd turns of phrase" in the lyrics, such as: "and fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door/Don't say your easy on me 'cause you're about as easy as a nuclear war." Although Guarisco questioned the lyrics, he praised the melody in the song. He wrote: "The melody of 'Is There Something I Should Know?' is one of Duran Duran's catchiest, matching twisty verse melodies full of ear-catching hooks with a harmonized chorus. The B-side to "Is There Something I Should Know?" in Europe is the instrumental "Faith in this Colour". An "Alternate Slow Mix" of "Faith in this Colour" was used on the 7" single, some pressings of which included brief unauthorized sound samples from the movie Star Wars -- these were promptly withdrawn when copyright concerns were raised, although on the "Alternate Slow Mix" from the singles box set, the scene, in which Obi-Wan leaves to disable the tractor beam, can clearly be heard in the last minute. Duran Duran has not confirmed this, though. The mainly instrumental "Monster Mix" of "Is There Something I Should Know?" was completed by producers Ian Little and Alex Sadkin. In the US, the song "Careless Memories" is the B-side of "Is There Something I Should Know?".

Leave a big hole in the wall" "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" is a song written and performed by the British duo Eurythmics. It was released as the first single from their album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother), which served as the soundtrack to the film Nineteen Eighty-Four, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by George Orwell. The song was produced by Dave Stewart. "Sexcrime" is a song which features heavy sampling of Lennox's voice, utilizing snippets of her vocal performance to produce a stuttering effect. Also prominently featured is the voice of Stewart, with the aid of a vocoder, uttering the phrase "nineteen eighty four". It was the first of two singles released from the soundtrack album. The term "sexcrime" is one of several Newspeak words found within the novel. The song was originally intended to appear in the film 1984, but was dropped prior to the film's release. However, it was used as background music for the film's trailer, and the song's promotional video was included on home video releases of the film. In addition to the standard 7" and 12" formats, the song was also released as a limited edition 12" picture disc. The single peaked at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart becoming Eurythmics' sixth consecutive Top 10 hit. It was one of the duo's biggest selling singles in the UK, being certified Silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 250,000 copies. It was also a big hit throughout Europe, a top 10 hit in New Zealand, a top 20 hit in Canada, and one of the duo's biggest selling singles in Australia. "Sexcrime" met with strong resistance on United States radio and on video outlets such as MTV — the song's title was particularly controversial to those who were not aware of the meaning of the word in Orwell's novel. The music video (featuring a straightforward performance of the song by Lennox and Stewart) had limited rotation on MTV. "Sexcrime" peaked at a lowly number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was much more successful on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it reached number 2. The b-side “I Did It Just The Same” is derived from Orwell’s text and is taken from a passage in the book where the protagonist, Winston Smith, relates how he committed “sexcrime” with a prostitute—initially deceived by her makeup, when he got close to her, he realised she was “about fifty – but I did it just the same”.

Tracklist: 01.M+M - Black Stations/White Stations (Extended Dance Mix) (6:26) 02.M+M - Black Stations/White Stations (Instrumental Remix) (4:54) Today, the US celebrates the life and legacy of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr, who would have turned 89 years old. I thought it fitting to post a single dealing with racism a topic that we are dealing with, in 2018. "Black Stations/White Stations" is a song recorded by the Canadian group Martha and the Muffins in 1984 from the album Mystery Walk under the shortened name M+M. The track was the first single to be released after the act became a duo consisting of lead singer Martha Johnson and group founder Mark Gane (hence the shortened name, with the first letter of their first names). The single is a departure from the new wave genre, with emphasis this time around on a dance/funk direction, which featured brothers Randy & Michael Brecker and Wayne Mills on horns. The song's title deals with the subject of racism in the radio industry, at a time when more cutting-edged songs and the radio stations in general were starting to open up to newer formats like rhythmic contemporary, which genre this song predates. It also took on how station policies dictates what can or can not be played on air. This was evidenced by Johnson, who recalled how a radio station refused to play a song about an interracial relationship. That experience prompted Johnson and Gane to write about their feelings over this practice by recalling the events, in which they use lyrics like "I dream in Black and White" and call for stations in general to "Stand Up and Face the Music/This Is 1984!". The single was also controversial in its own right, as radio stations avoided playing the single because of the song's title and lyrics despite being a modest hit in Canada, where it reached No. 26. In the United States, the single peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 2 on the Dance/Disco chart, where it reached number 2 in 1984.
Tracklist: 01.Expos - Exposed To Love (6:21) 02.Expos - Exposed To Love (Dub Mix) (6:43) "Exposed to Love" is a dance single by the female dance-pop trio Exposé. Released in December 1985, it was the original group's second single after "Point of No Return," with Alé Lorenzo singing lead vocals. "Exposed to Love" remains the only single to feature vocals from the original group's lineup ("Point of No Return" was subsequently rerecorded with the second lineup) and is featured as such on the album Exposure.

Tracklist: 01.Sandii & The Sunsetz - Dreams Of Immigrants (Full Version) (4:43) 02.Sandii & The Sunsetz - The Mirrors Of Eyes /Jinjirogeh - The Chunk O' Funk (9:50) For The Immigrants and DREAMERS " Dreams Of Immigrants" is a 1982 single by Japanese new wave/synthpop band that collaborated from 1979 until the 1990s. The Sunsetz, led by Makoto Kubota, and Sandii started as separate artists, and each have a separate discography. However, their collaboration provided a particular body of work that is representative of the period, and which successfully blended Eastern, Western and pop influences. "Dreams Of Immigrants" was penned by lyricist Chris Mosdell who has written lyrics for Sarah Brightman and Boy George; co-written lyrics with Michael Jackson, had his work covered by Eric Clapton. The Sunsetz spent a lot of time in the UK, recording with David Sylvian and Fun Boy Three producer Dave Jordan. Sounds, NME and Melody Maker gave The Sunsetz extensive coverage which gave the group a lot of credibility in Japan, leading to increased record sales. Their live act gained many fans in the international music industry following their support slot on the final Japan world tour. The Sunsetz went on to tour and play festivals with Eurythmics, Inxs, Blondie and David Bowie. **The two songs on the b-side are blended together forming one continuous mix. To keep integrity of the original vinyl I did not split the tracks.
Tracklist: 01.Thompson Twins - In The Name Of Love (12"Inch Dance Extension) (5:39) 02.Thompson Twins - In The Beginning (3:15) 03.Thompson Twins - Coastline (3:38) "In the Name of Love" is a 1982 single written and performed by The Thompson Twins, at the time a septet (Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, Joe Leeway, John Roog, Chris Bell, Peter Dodd, and Matthew Seligman). It was the first of twelve entries on the Billboard dance chart for the group, and the first entry for the band in the lower reaches of the US and UK pop charts (peaking outside the UK top 75, and "bubbling under" the hot 100 on the US charts.) "In the Name of Love" went to number one on the dance music chart and stayed there for five weeks, and spent a total of twenty-one weeks on the chart. It peaked at number sixty-nine on the Billboard R&B chart.
Tracklist: 01.Soft Cell - Loving You, Hating Me (Special Mix) (7:50) 02.Soft Cell - Heat (6:14) 03.Soft Cell - Loving You, Hating Me (LP Version) (4:20) "Loving You, Hating Me" was the proposed third UK single from the album The Art of Falling Apart by English synth-pop duo Soft Cell. It was never actually released in the UK and only saw release as a single in the US. The "Special Mix" contained on this US 12" promo is unique to this realease and has not appeared on CD. The duration for this track is printed on the sleeve as 6:59 while the label lists 7:50. The label is correct. "Loving You Hating Me" is a song about the battle of the sexes - a punch up rather than a full blown war! In a January 1983 interview with Soft Cell published in Melody Maker, Marc Almond explained "Everybody has sado-masochistic tendencies, most people love to be hurt because of the drama and it's pleasurable hurting somebody else because, afterwards, you can feel really sorry for them".

Sadkin produced the album including "Love On Your Side". The original lyrics were written by Alannah Currie, but was later altered to that of a male perspective, as Currie wasn't the lead singer. It was the band's first top ten hit, reaching no. 9 in the UK, as well as no. 45 in the US.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Burning Up (12" Version) (5:55) 02.Madonna - Physical Attraction (Album Version) (6:36) "Burning Up" is a song by American singer Madonna from her 1983 eponymous debut album. It was released as the album's second single on March 9, 1983, in some countries as a double-A side single with "Physical Attraction", another song from the album. The song was presented as an early recorded demo by Madonna to Sire Records who green-lighted the recording of the single after the first single "Everybody" became a dance hit. Madonna collaborated with Reggie Lucas, who produced the single while John Benitez provided the guitar riffs and backing vocals. Musically, the song incorporates instrumentation from bass guitar, synthesizers and drums, and the lyrics talk of the singer's lack of shame in declaring her passion for her lover. Released with "Physical Attraction" on the B side, the song was given mixed reviews from contemporary critics and authors, who noted the song's darker, urgent composition while praising its dance beats. The single failed to do well commercially anywhere, except the dance chart in the United States, where it peaked at #3, and the Australian charts, where it was a top 20 hit. After a number of live appearances in clubs to promote the single, it was added to the set-list of the 1985 Virgin Tour. An electric guitar version was performed on the 2004 Re-Invention World Tour and the 2015–2016 Rebel Heart Tour. The accompanying music video of the song portrayed Madonna in the classic submissive female positions, while writhing in passion on an empty road, for her lover who appeared to come from her behind on a car. The video ended showing Madonna driving the car instead, thereby concluding that she was always in charge. Many authors noted that the "Burning Up" music video was a beginning of Madonna's depiction of her taking control of a destabilized male sexuality.
Tracklist: 01.Vicious Pink Phenomenon - Je T'aime (Moi Non Plus) (7:58) 02.Vicious Pink Phenomenon - Maniac (4:50) "Je T'aime (Moi Non Plus)" translated to I love you (me no more) is the second 12" single released by New Wave Synth-Pop duo formed in Leeds, England in 1981. The duo consisted of two members, English/French singer Josephine Warden and keyboardist Brian Moss. The duo began as backing vocalists for Soft Cell, then known as the Vicious Pink Phenomenon. "Je T'aime (Moi Non Plus)" was recorded in 1982 at Ric-Rac Studios Leeds West Yorkshire, and was produced by Dave Ball. When “Tainted Love” hit number 1 in many Countries, David Ball had to commit himself 100% to Soft Cell. The duo then went to New York and shortened their name to Vicious Pink.
Tracklist: 01.Dan Hartman - Second Nature (Extended Version) (7:15) 02.Dan Hartman - Second Nature (Dub Version) (6:41) 03.Dan Hartman - Second Nature (LP Version) (3:56) "Second Nature" is a song by American musician-singer-songwriter Dan Hartman, released as the fourth and final single from his 1984 album I Can Dream About You. The single was released in early 1985. I Can Dream About You was Hartman's debut album for the MCA Records label, and marked the first album to feature Hartman's longtime songwriting partner Charlie Midnight, who he would continue to write with throughout the rest of the decade. "Second Nature" was written by Hartman and Midnight, and was produced by Hartman and Jimmy Iovine. Midnight would also provide backing vocals on the song. Like the rest of the album, "Second Nature" was recorded at Hartman's own home studio "Multi-Level" and was mixed at Image Recording in Los Angeles. As the fourth and final single from the album, "Second Nature" continued the success of the album's title track which was a Top 10 hit in America. The second single "We Are the Young" had peaked at #25, however the third single "Name of the Game" did not become a commercial success. "Second Nature" returned Hartman to the Top 40, where it peaked at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100, lasting a total of 12 weeks on the chart. It also made #40 on the Dance Music/Club Play Singles Chart, where it lasted on the chart for 4 weeks, and #19 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, where it lasted on the chart for 7 weeks. "Second Nature" would be Hartman's last charting single in America within his solo career. In the UK the single peaked at #66, after "I Can Dream About You" had only reached #78 in late 1984. Following "Second Nature" the song would be re-released, and peaked at #12 in the UK. "Second Nature" did gain some minor success in UK clubs and brought back echoes from the days of his 1978 hit "Instant Replay", which had been a Top 10 hit in the country. In the February 16, 1985, issue of Billboard magazine, the song was listed twice under the Hot 100 Singles Radio Action section. It was noted that "Second Nature" was within the Top 3 songs played within Regions 1 and 3, both covering the far eastern side of America. Region 1 included such places as New York area, and Region 3 included states such as Florida. By the issue of March 9, 1985, under Hot 100 Singles Retail Action, the song was listed as one of Top 3 in Regions 6, 7 and 8. In a 1984 interview with Hartman, he described the song's meaning. He revealed "Second Nature" is a good old love song. It's like a song about being elated and excited and in love, and how much just every day of life is made easy."

The song was arranged by veteran songwriter Greg Mathieson and was released as the second single from the album, following the underperformance of the lead single "Mathematics", MCA hoped to reverse the album's fortune by releasing this Hi-NRG track with an aim for the club market.

A slinky number written by Mark Goldenberg (writer of 'Automatic' for the Pointer Sisters), was a moderate hit reaching the Top 20 in the US and Australia. “Soul Kiss” was a continuation of Olivia’s move into more sexually suggestive territory that had begun four years earlier with “Physical”. Newton-John was pregnant at the time of the single’s release and was therefore unable to promote it. A music video was produced and recieved heavy rotation on MTV and VH-1, the video features a very pregnant Olivia mostly filmed on a bed of red satin sheets, the video also featured Olivia’s husband at the time Matt Lattanzi.
Tracklist: 01.One To One - Angel In My Pocket (Rocket In My Pocket Mix) (8:13) 02.One To One - There Was A Time (Remix) (4:49) 03.One To One - Angel In My Pocket (Dub) (5:27) "Angel In My Pocket" was the second single released by Canadian pop music group One To One.

Tracklist: 01.Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free ("Jellybean" Dance Mix) (8:00) 02.Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Album Version) (4:13) 03.Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Torch Song Mix) (4:52) 04.Sting - Another Day (3:58) "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" is the first single released from Sting's solo debut album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. It is also the opening track of the album, and is featured on Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984–1994 as well as The Very Best of Sting & The Police. Like much of the album, the song has heavy jazz influences, and was a major hit, peaking at number one on the US Album Rock Tracks chart for three weeks. On the US pop chart, it peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 17 on the US R&B chart, number 26 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 18 on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart. A portion of the song was later used for Sting's 1987 hit "We'll Be Together" from ...Nothing Like the Sun. The single launched a long string of singles(stretching over three albums) where Sting collaborated with New Orleans saxophonist and one-time Tonight Show bandleader Branford Marsalis. The song was also performed at The Brits in February 1995 with M People. He duetted on the song with the band's lead singer, Heather Small and this track was given the dance treatment by the band who were also backed by a 100-strong Gospel Choir at the Earls Court Arena during the annual music awards show. Sting said that he wrote the song as an "antidote" to the Police's 1983 song, "Every Breath You Take", which he also wrote. The song was also lampooned by The Dead Milkmen in the song "If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire," from their 1990 album Metaphysical Graffiti. The single B-side consists of a studio recording of the song "Another Day" which would appear the following year in a live version on Sting's live album Bring On the Night.

A collaboration with disco producer Giorgio Moroder, who also co-wrote the song with David Sylvian, it marked a change of direction from the bands previous sound. Originally released as a single in 1979, it was reissued twice before it finally became a hit on The UK Singles Chart in 1982. The song was written by Giorgio Moroder and band vocalist David Sylvian. The musical style is in line with Moroder's electronic disco style as already employed on albums by Donna Summer, Munich Machine and on his own From Here to Eternity in 1977. Moroder's trademark arpeggiated synthesiser can be heard throughout the track.

Tracklist: 01.Tears For Fears - Mothers Talk (Beat Of The Drum Mix) (8:55) 02.Tears For Fears - Empire Building (2:51) “Mothers Talk” is a 1984 song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley and sung by Orzabal, it was the band’s seventh single release (the first to be taken from their second album Songs from the Big Chair (1985) and fifth UK Top 40 chart hit. The song was released six months in advance of the album and showcased the band’s edgier sound, as compared to their debut LP The Hurting (1983). It was also a moderate success internationally. “Mothers Talk” was written in 1983 and was first publicly performed during the band’s late 1983 tour. In early 1984, the band went into the studio to record the song as their next single, though the recording sessions with their new producer Jeremy Green did not work out as planned and the recording was scrapped. The band’s previous producer, Chris Hughes, was then brought back into the fold and the song was re-recorded and finally released as a single in August 1984. Hughes stayed on with the band to record their second album, Songs from the Big Chair. Along with its B-side, “Empire Building”, “Mothers Talk” was one of the first Tears for Fears songs to demonstrate a creative use of sampling. The strings at the beginning of the song were culled from a Barry Manilow record, while the drum sample around which “Empire Building” is built was lifted from the Simple Minds song “Today I Died Again”. This was the second Tears for Fears single for which Phonogram Records would use the picture disc and coloured vinyl gimmicks as a promotional tool, as well as the first one to feature multiple 12″ releases offering different remixes of the track. Limited quantities of the 7″ single also came with a free Tears For Fears window sticker of the band’s new logo.

It was written by bass guitarist John Deacon and was released in three versions: album, single and extended. It came to be included in most live concerts by the group, in several videos and in The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert where it was sung by Lisa Stansfield. The song is largely known for its music video for which all the band members dressed in women's clothes, a concept proposed by Roger Taylor, which parodied the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street. The second part of the video included a composition rehearsed and performed with the Royal Ballet and choreographed by Wayne Eagling. Whereas the parody was acclaimed in the United Kingdom, it was considered controversial in the United States and banned by MTV and other stations. After its release in 1984, the single of the song was well received all over Europe and South America, where it was listed within top ten and regarded as an anthem of the fight against oppression. The single reached only the 45th position in the US charts, but reached number 3 in the UK and was certified silver with 200,000+ copies sold. The rear of the sleeve incorrectly lists the B side track as just "Machines (or 'Back To Humans')" which was the B side in many countries, but the label correctly lists "Machines (or 'Back To Humans') - Instrumental Version".
Tracklist: 01.The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? (Long Version) (6:44) 02.The Smiths - Girl Afraid (2:48) 03.The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? (U.S. Edit) (3:54) "How Soon Is Now?" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by singer Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. Originally a B-side of the 1984 single "William, It Was Really Nothing", "How Soon Is Now?" was subsequently featured on the compilation album Hatful of Hollow and on US, Canadian, Australian, and Warner UK editions of Meat Is Murder. Belatedly released as a single in the UK in 1985, it reached No. 24 on the UK Singles Chart. When re-released in 1992, it reached No. 16. In 2007, Marr said "How Soon Is Now?" is "possibly [the Smiths'] most enduring record. It's most people's favourite, I think." Despite its prominent place in the Smiths' repertoire, it is not generally considered to be representative of the band's style. Although a club favourite, it did not chart as well as expected. Most commentators put this down to the fact that the song had been out on vinyl in a number of forms before being released as a single in its own right. The original track runs for nearly seven minutes; however, the 7" single edit cut the length down to under four minutes. The complete version is generally used on compilations. This U.S. 12" contains an alternate U.S. edit which is different from the UK 7-inch mix.

This was Cheyne's only charted single, which topped the U.S. Dance chart for 1 week on June 8, 1985, and remained on the chart for eleven weeks. On the soul chart Call Me Mr. Telephone peaked at number sixty-two.

Tracklist: 01.Village People - I Am What I Am (5:28) 02.Village People - Macho Man (5:00) "I Am What I Am" is a song written by Victor Willis, Henri Belolo, Peter Whitehead and Jacques Morali that was first released by the Village People on their 1978 album Macho Man. It was also released as a single with "Key West," also from Macho man, as the b-side in some countries including Germany and the UK. It did not chart in those countries, but it reached #4 on the Billboard Dance Chart in a medley with "Key West" and "Macho Man." It has since been released on several Village People greatest hits compilation albums. It was also included on the soundtrack for the 1978 film Thank God It's Friday. Rolling Stone critic Mitchell Schneider described "I Am What I Am" as a "human-rights anthem." Village People singer Randy Jones describes the song as "a gay liberation statement, aimed directly at gays and lesbians who were standing up without apology for their lifestyle" and as the group's "first gay liberation song." He says that the theme of the song is the virtue of being yourself, and not just if you're gay or transgender but even just if you want to dress in an unusual manner, as long as you don't hurt anyone else. Author Michael DeAngelis describes the theme as being "pride and faithfulness to the individual and authentic self." DeAngelis notes that this theme had particular resonance at the time, when the gay community was in the process of "coming out" and a general cultural obsession was finding healthy ways to feel good about oneself. Author Frédéric Martel identifies "I Am What I Am" as one of five Village People songs that were touchstones to the gay movement in France when they came out ("San Francisco (You've Got Me)," "Macho Man," "Y.M.C.A." and "In the Navy" being the others). Author Judith A. Peraino described "I Am What I Am" as a "hit single" while Boze Hadleigh described it as a "pre-hit." Author Sharon Davis claimed that lyrics are "so camp they have to held down with tent pegs." But Billboard described it as "provocative," describing it as a "gay pride anthem with its activist lyrics and basic theme." Billboard also praised the rhythm and percussion and horn arrangements. Allmusic critic Amy Hanson described it as "a well-constructed slab of groove," despite lacking subtlety. Rolling Stone critic Mitchell Schneider regarded "I Am What I Am" as the best song on Macho Man stating that Willis' voice is "full of anger and delight" on the song and concluding that "because the song seems so committed, it makes the rest of the material sound downright pointless." The song's title was later reused by Jerry Herman for a 1983 hit song performed by Gloria Gaynor, which also had gay pride as a theme. Reebok later used the title phrase for a successful sneaker advertising campaign.

The single along with the album were both recieved poorly due to MCA Records lack of promotion for the album and it's singles. "Imagination" failed to have any chart impact. A nusic video was filmed for the new wave flavored song by Reddy's daughter Traci who had just graduated from USC film school.

Controversial due to its lyrics, it nonetheless became a number one hit in numerous European countries. In 2008 the song re-entered the Austrian Single Charts. The song is about a relationship between a man and a woman named Jeanny. At the time when it reached number one, critics said that the song glorifies rape. German TV and radio personality Thomas Gottschalk made various negative remarks and called the song "rubbish". An outcry in German language markets caused the song to be banned by some radio broadcasters or played with a preceding warning by others. Falco argued that it is about the musings of a stalker. The part of the "news flash" in the track is spoken by German newsreader Wilhelm Wieben. Several feminist associations called for a boycott of the song. Some TV and radio stations in West Germany agreed and didn't play the song "for ethical reasons", while others just played it on their charts shows. In East Germany the song was not on air and playing it in dance clubs was prohibited. There were also demands to prohibit the song in West Germany, but officials denied the application in April 1986. This angered news presenter Dieter Kronzucker, who presented the daily news magazine heute-journal for the West German public TV station ZDF: his two teenage daughters, along with their cousin, had been kidnapped and briefly held captive in Tuscany several years earlier; this formed the basis of his anger about the song's release, which he discussed on heute-journal. Following this, further radio stations followed the boycott. In the German federal state of Hesse the song was aired accompanied by a warning. In the popular music show Formel Eins cutscenes were aired, but only whilst the song was at the top of the charts.

Chris Slade plays a steady drum beat throughout. On live performances, the song was introduced with a drum solo from Slade, leading into Franklin's opening bass line. Page utilized his brown 1960s Fender Telecaster guitar featuring a Parsons and White B-string bender on tour with this song. Their self-titled album, appearing on Atlantic Records, cracked the Billboard Top 20 on the strength of this single. Jimmy Page broke with the past and participated in the recording for the music video and single, the first time he had done both since the late 1960s. Page can be seen miming to the recording with his famous red doubleneck 1971 Gibson EDS-1275 guitar. In March 1985, MTV began heavily promoting the video, although the track was a modest seller, reaching #28 in America and topping the Top Rock Tracks chart for one week. "Radioactive" was also released as a 12" single and limited edition picture disc. Paul Rodgers still performs this song during his solo sets and it appears on the 2007 Paul Rodgers: Live In Glasgow DVD.

Tracklist: 01.The Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way (3:33) 02.The Psychedelic Furs - Aeroplane (Dance Mix) (5:19) "Love My Way" is a song by English band The Psychedelic Furs. It was released in July 1982 as the first single from their third studio album Forever Now.

Front man of the group Richard Butler had a specific audience in mind when he penned the lyrics to this song. He explained himself thus in an interview with Creem in 1982: "It's basically addressed to people who are f--ked up about their sexuality, and says 'Don't worry about it.' It was originally written for gay people." Released in 1982, "Love My Way" peaked at number nine in New Zealand, where it spent 21 weeks on the chart. The song peaked at number 42 in the UK and number 44 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Tracklist: 01.Laura Branigan - Self Control (Extended Version) (5:02) 02.Laura Branigan - Silent Partners (Extended Version) (4:07) American singer Laura Branigan covered "Self Control" in 1984. It was released as the lead single from her third studio album of the same name, released the same year. Branigan's first major hit had also been co-written by Bigazzi: "Gloria" (1982) was an English cover of the 1979 original Italian song recorded by Umberto Tozzi. The following year Branigan recorded another English song written over a Tozzi and Bigazzi song, "Mama", which was part of the 1983 album Branigan 2. Branigan chose two more Italian songs for her third album: the first one, "Ti Amo" with lyrics by Diane Warren once again based on the original by Tozzi and Bigazzi that had been a 1977 single for Tozzi. The second one, "Self Control" became the title track to the album and her biggest international hit. "Self Control" was the only one of the four Italian songs recorded by Branigan that was originally composed in English, and Branigan chose to record the song as written. Also unlike the other songs, Branigan's version was contemporaneous with that of its co-writer. The Branigan recording was arranged by Giorgio Moroder's protégé Harold Faltermeyer with Robbie Buchanan and produced by Buchanan with Jack White in Germany and Los Angeles. A keyboard hook in Raf's version was changed to a guitar riff for Branigan's version and a vocal break was paired with a sharper and repeated percussive element. Branigan was one of the first artists of the video era to work with an Academy Award-winning film director on a music video when William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist) directed the clip. Filmed in New Jersey and New York City, the video was produced by Fred Caruso and first aired in April 1984. The video depicts Branigan, sitting in her bedroom while her lover sleeps. Tempted by the allure of the city at night, she gets dressed up and goes out. Brief encounters with a mysterious man in a full-face white mask lead Branigan from the dance floor of a night club to an underground room where the masked man stands in the midst of an orgiastic gathering that he beckons her to join. Branigan allows herself to be led into the group, but ultimately flees in fright. Returning home, Branigan finds that the masked man and some of his throng are, somehow, now in her bedroom. The masked man lowers Branigan to her couch and she surrenders herself to him. The masked man, standing over Branigan, now lying unconscious on the floor, turns and walks towards the bedroom window, fading away in the morning light. Branigan, consumed by guilt, gets up and turns out the light. The final scene shows Branigan lying awake in bed, when her lover turns to face her, his face hidden behind a familiar white mask. The video ultimately drew controversy, as it was considered so shockingly sexy that MTV required some edits before it could air. Entertainment Tonight aired a segment on the network's reaction to the clip, which was being played in late-night slots on other networks. Though Branigan resisted at first, her record company convinced her to allow a minor alteration and the video was aired on MTV, though by this time the single had peaked on the charts. Branigan would go on to be nominated for a 1985 American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Video Artist. Branigan's fellow nominees were Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper, who won the award. Branigan's recording was a worldwide multi-format hit. In the US, the song became Branigan's fourth consecutive top 10 hit on a Billboard chart in a year and a half, following "Gloria", "Solitaire" and "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". "Self Control" peaked at no. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, no. 4 on the Hot 100 and no. 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In Canada, the track hit no. 1 on both the pop and AC charts. Both the Raf original and the Branigan version of "Self Control" entered the German Top 20 in May 1984: on June 25, the Branigan single assumed the no. 1 position, where it remained for six weeks, while the Raf version occupied the no. 2 spot. Branigan's "Self Control" also entered the Italian charts although the dominance of the Raf version in his native Italy predicated a comparatively low peak Italian chart peak of no. 29 for Branigan's version. "Self Control" afforded Laura Branigan a no. 1 hit in Austria, Canada, Sweden and South Africa and was also a smash hit for Branigan in Norway (no. 2), Ireland (no. 3), Australia (no. 3) and the UK (no. 5). Branigan's album Self Control went Silver, Gold or Platinum in several countries and yielded subsequent charting singles, though not of the title track's magnitude, in "The Lucky One", "Ti Amo" and "Satisfaction".

Tracklist: 01.Raf - Self Control (Special Maxi Version) (6:09) 02.Raf - Running Away (5:40) "Self Control" is a song by Italian singer Raf, released in 1984. It was written by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Steve Piccolo and Raf. The song was covered the same year by American singer Laura Branigan. Her version first hit no. 1 in Germany on June 15, 1984. Raf's version first hit no. 1 in Italy on June 23, 1984. Both versions of the song were popular across Europe during much of the summer of 1984 and were the most successful single of the year in Switzerland. Branigan's version peaked at no. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and also went to no. 2 on the dance chart. The song has become one of the defining songs of the 1980s, with a number of remakes recorded each year. Notable covers include Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin in 1993, a hit dance remake by Branigan in 2004 and two 2006 versions that hit the Top 5 in various European enclaves, by Danish dance group Infernal and Spanish singer Soraya Arnelas. Raf, born as Raffaele Riefoli, co-wrote the song "Self Control" with Giancarlo Bigazzi and Steve Piccolo. His version of "Self Control" peaked at no. 1 in Italy. It also notably edged into no. 1 in Switzerland between runs at the top spot by Laura Branigan's version of "Self Control", and peaked at no. 2 in Germany, no. 7 in Austria and at no. 40 in France. Raf released an extended dance mix of the song, like Branigan, but Raf's version featured a rap (performed by two other rap vocalists), relatively rare for a white artist at the time. He would release several more tracks in English and re-release his debut 1984 album Raf in 1987 under the title Self Control, featuring two of these tracks. Although his English-language album and especially the singles proved to be quite successful in Italy and elsewhere, he began releasing his later albums in his native language, almost all of which received better in Italy than the English-language albums; many of them entered Italy's Top 10 album chart.
Tracklist: 01.Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Summer Version) (6:42) 02.Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Reprise) (6:02) "Tarzan Boy", was released in April 1985, and became a huge European success, peaking at No. 6 on the Italian single chart and entering the top 5 in numerous European countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, France, the Netherlands and Norway. The song eventually made it to the United Kingdom charts, where it reached no.3 in August 1985. "Tarzan Boy" was released in Canada in October 1985 and peaked on the Canadian charts at No. 5 by the end of the year. However, it took a while for the single to enter the Hot 100 single chart in the United States (where it was released on EMI). When it did, it remained on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six months, peaking at No. 13 in March 1986. Baltimora performed on the American TV show Solid Gold, which helped further their success in America. Due to the single's popularity in Europe an alternate 12" and 7" remix was released by EMI Records called "Summer Version" this remix was only released in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Tracklist: 01.Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Extended Dance Version) (6:08) 02.Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Single Version) (3:47) 03.Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Extended Dub Version) (5:02) "Tarzan Boy" is the debut single by Italian-based act Baltimora. The song was written by Maurizio Bassi and Naimy Hackett, and released in 1985 as the lead single from Baltimora's debut album Living in the Background. The refrain uses Tarzan's cry as a melodic line. The song is rhythmical, with an electronic melody and simple lyrics. Baltimora are often considered a one-hit wonder due to the success they experienced with "Tarzan Boy". "Tarzan Boy" was an international hit, debuting in the top-five of the Italian charts and performing well in many other European countries, including Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. "Tarzan Boy" was most successful in France, where it topped the chart for five consecutive weeks. In the United Kingdom, it reached number three in August 1985. The single had success in the United States (where it was released by EMI), with the single remaining on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six months and ultimately peaking at number 13 on March 1st, 1986.

Tracklist: 01.Friends Again - State Of Art (Extended Mix) (6:05) 02.Friends Again - Winked At (3:59) 03.Friends Again - State Of Art (Instrumental) (3:59) "State Of Art" is a 1983 single by Scottish new wave pop group Friends Again. They were formed by members Chris Thomson and Paul McGeechan, together with Neil Cunningham, James Grant and Stuart Kerr. They released a self-titled EP in 1984, which peaked at No. 59 on the UK Singles Chart. They then recorded their debut album, Trapped & Unwrapped (1984). After the demise of the band, Grant went on to form Love and Money in 1985 along with McGeechan and Kerr, while Thomson formed The Bathers. "State Of Art" was produced by Bob Sargeant who also produced acts such as The Adventures, Haircut One Hunfred, Fine Young Cannibals and others.
Tracklist: 01.Seona Dancing - More To Lose (7" Version) (3:48) 02.Seona Dancing - You're On My Side (3:06) "More To Lose" was the debut single by British new wave group Seona Dancing, best known for providing comedian Ricky Gervais with his first experiences as a public performer. In June 1982, in his final year as a student at University College London, Ricky Gervais and his friend Bill Macrae formed Seona Dancing, with Macrae writing the songs and playing keyboards and Gervais writing and singing the lyrics. After recording a sixteen-song demo tape, they were signed by London Records. In June 1983, the duo performed "More to Lose" on the ITV syndicated children's television show Razzmatazz. Yet, despite the promotion of the song "More To Lode" failed to break the top 40 only peaking at #117 on the UK singles chart. The song, which utilises an opening piano riff to convey the sound of falling teardrops, became a major radio and club hit as well as a favourite at high-school dances during the 1980s and beyond. AllMusic critic Michael Sutton wrote that the track was "the theme song of angst-ridden New Wave youths in the Philippines" and "an '80s anthem as ubiquitous as Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes', but with the eternal hipster cool of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'." This Japan 7" pressing features the 7" version housed in a unique picture sleeve. This edition also comes with a glossy 5"x6" black and white promo photo.
Tracklist: 01.Seona Dancing - More To Lose (Extended Mix) (6:02) 02.Seona Dancing - You're On My Side (3:06) "More To Lose" is a single by British new wave group Seona Dancing, released in 1983. It is an uptempo new wave pop song, sung by a then-unknown Ricky Gervais, who was the lyricist and vocalist of the band. Macrae was the band's composer and keyboard player. The song remains virtually unknown in their homeland of the UK, after only peaking at No. 117 on the UK Singles Chart, but found tremendous success in the Philippines in 1985, a year after the band broke up. In 1985, DWRT-FM started playing a song, deliberately misnaming it as "Fade" by Medium (sometimes billed as "Medium" by Fade), to prevent other rival stations finding the song and playing it for themselves. To make it impossible for other DJs to record the song and play it on their own station, DWRT-FM even inserted a station ID midway through the track. A year later, radio station DWXB-102 revealed the true identity of the song. "More to Lose" became an instant hit among Filipino teenagers. The song also swept the nation's dance clubs and endless airplay on Manila FM stations throughout the mid-1980s.
Tracklist: 01.Seona Dancing - Bitter Heart (7" Vesrsion) (3:57) 02.Seona Dancing - Tell Her (7" Version) (2:52) "Bitter Heart" was the second and final single released by British new wave duo Seona Dancing. The song was produced by British songwriter, producer, engineer and mixer,Phil Thornalley he is perhaps best known for co-writing (with Scott Cutler and Anne Preven) the song "Torn" (made famous by Natalie Imbruglia's cover version, which he also produced) and the number one hits "Mama Do", "Boys and Girls" and "Cry Me Out" for Pixie Lott. He also produced The Cure's 1982 album Pornography and was later their bass player for eighteen months, producing and performing the distinctive double bass line on their 1983 single The Love Cats. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical in 1984 for Into the Gap by the Thompson Twins. "Bitter Heart" reached #79 on the UK singles chart after spending three weeks on the chart. A video was made in 1983. It has had considerable play in recent years on talk shows interviewing Ricky Gervais and has been played on "'80s flashback" shows. The video is most known for Gervais looking almost exactly like David Bowie. The plot of the video is a girl in a wedding dress who was about to get married and has just had her husband leave her, after which she becomes angry and destroys most of the objects in the room. This Japan 7" is housed in a unique picture sleeve and includes the 7" mixes of both tracks.

The song was virtually unknown in their homeland of the UK, after only peaking at #79 on the UK Singles Chart, even though it remained in the Top 100 for 3 weeks.
Tracklist: 01.The Smiths - This Charming Man (New York Vocal) (5:34) 02.The Smiths - This Charming Man (New York Instrumental) (4:18) "This Charming Man" is a song by the English band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer Morrissey. Released as the group's second single in October 1983 on the independent record label Rough Trade, it is defined by Marr's jangle pop guitar riff and Morrissey's characteristically morose lyrics, which revolve around the recurrent Smiths themes of sexual ambiguity and lust. Feeling detached from the early 1980s mainstream gay culture, Morrissey wrote "This Charming Man" to evoke an older, more coded and self-aware underground scene. The singer said of the song's lyrics: "I really like the idea of the male voice being quite vulnerable, of it being taken and slightly manipulated, rather than there being always this heavy machismo thing that just bores everybody." Although only moderately successful on first release—the single peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, "This Charming Man" has been widely praised in both the music and mainstream press. Re-issued in 1992, it reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart (making it the Smiths' biggest UK hit by chart position). In 2004, BBC Radio 2 listeners voted it number 97 on the station's "Sold on Song Top 100" poll. Mojo magazine journalists placed the track at number 1 on their 2008 "50 Greatest UK Indie Records of All Time" feature. It was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry in 2015.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Bew Moon On Monday (Remix) (6:04) 02.Duran Duran - Tiger Tiger (Remix) (3:25) 03.Duran Duran - New Moon On Monday (4:16) "New Moon on Monday" is the tenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 23 January 1984 in the United Kingdom. The second single to be taken from the band's third album Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983), the song was another success, reaching the top-ten on both the UK and US charts. On 11 February 1984, the single reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart and on 17 March, it reached number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, after entering on 14 January 1984 at number 56. It did not chart well in Australia and Scandinavia, territories where its predecessor, "Union of the Snake", had been a big hit. This trend was reversed with the next single, "The Reflex", which became a worldwide number-one hit. In a retrospective review, "New Moon on Monday" was praised by Allmusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco, who wrote: "The music holds the unusual lyrics together by wedding effervescent verse melodies that bounce high and low to a triumphant-sounding chorus with a rousing feel." The music video for "New Moon on Monday" was filmed by director Brian Grant during the icy first week of January 1984, in the village of Noyers in France. It has a loosely sketched storyline in which the band appear as members of an underground rebellion called "La Luna" (the name is one of the few connections between the video's content and the song lyrics), organizing a revolt against a modern (1980s-era computers are used) oppressive militaristic regime, apparently in France. "We set out to make a little movie", recalled Grant. "I'm not sure we succeeded." He was not the first choice to shoot the video, as Russell Mulcahy, director of many of the band's other videos, was unavailable. Several versions of this video exist. The longest is a 17-minute "movie version" which includes an extended introduction before the song starts (including a scene of dialogue between Simon Le Bon and the story's female lead, played by Patricia Barzyk, winner of the Miss France title in 1980; a brief snippet of "Union of the Snake" is also heard on a radio), and is set to an extended remix of the song. A shorter version, with a spoken French-dialogue intro, was originally submitted to MTV, who then later requested an even shorter version without the prologue. Yet another version was produced for the Dancing on the Valentine video collection, showing blue-lit scenes of the band members in front of a full-moon backdrop. All but one of the versions were included as easter eggs on the 2004 DVD compilation Greatest. Both Andy Taylor and Nick Rhodes say this is the band's least favourite video. "Everybody ... hates it, particularly the dreadful scene at the end where we all dance together", Taylor wrote in his memoirs. "Even today, I cringe and leave the room if anyone plays [it]." He recalls that they were miserable since their Christmas holiday had been cut short to shoot the video, and spent most of the day on the dark and cold set drinking, to the point that he was "half cut" by the time the last scenes were shot. "It's one of the few times I've seen Nick dance". "New Moon on Monday" was backed with a remix of the instrumental "Tiger Tiger" done by Ian Little. The original version of the instrumental was found on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger album. The release was rounded out by an extended version of the title track.
Tracklist: 01.The Cure - In Between Days (LP Version) (2:58) 02.The Cure - In Between Days (Extended Version) (4:00) 03.The Cure - Stop Dead (Previously Unreleased) (4:03) "In Between Days" (sometimes listed as "Inbetween Days" or "In-Between Days") is a song by the English rock band The Cure, released in July 1985 as the first single from the band's sixth album The Head on the Door. The song was a big international success. In the UK, it was the band's ninth chart single and their fourth consecutive Top 20 hit; while in the US it was their first single to reach the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 99. It was a Top 20 hit in Australia and New Zealand and also charted in several European countries, increasing the popularity of the band. The song is poppy and upbeat, featuring strummed acoustic guitars under a snappy synthesizer riff, although the song's lyrical themes of aging, loss and fear do not particularly reflect the upbeat tempo of the music. It features a distinctive drum intro by Boris Williams and a bass line reminiscent of "Dreams Never End" by New Order. The extended version, only released on the 12" single in North America, features a longer introduction to the song.

It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc (1979). Written by the band's lead singer and bassist Sting, the song is ostensibly about a story of a castaway on an island, who sends out a message in a bottle to seek love. A year later, he has not received any sort of response, and despairs, thinking he is destined to be alone. The next day, he sees "a hundred billion bottles" on the shore, finding out that there are more people like him out there. The song was the first of their five UK number one singles. Rolling Stone ranked it number 65 on its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time". The song also reached #1 in Spain and Ireland and top five in several other European countries and Australia. In the United States "Message In A Bottle" only peaked at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The "Edit" has yet to appear on CD.

The single for Running was distributed to club DJs, and became a favorite all over clubs, particularly in the Latin clubs of New York City. The original 12" was released on Wide Angle Records in 1984 this 12" was released before the song was remixed in 1986 when the band signed to Tommy Boy Records. Unlike other singles in their catalogue, "Running" does not feature Kurt Harland on lead vocals, as the song was written and recorded by short-lived band member Murat Konar, who left the band in 1985 and would later be an integral part of the development of both SoundEdit (a Mac hosted sound editing application) and Adobe Flash applications. This original 12" has become quite rare and pretty expensive.

After his first album First Offense took off, the photogenic and often brooding Corey Hart was often compared to James Dean in the media. For his second album, he wrote "Boy in the Box" about Dean, and what it must have been like living in the public eye as if he were being observed in a box. Hart often felt the same way, as he found his sudden fame overwhelming at times. "Boy In The Box" reached #4 in Hart's home country of Canada and #26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on November 2, 1985 after spending twelve weeks on the survey.

"Rapture" is a combination of disco, funk, and hip hop with the rap section forming an extended coda. The song title "Rapture" served to indicate this element. While it was not the first single featuring rapping to be commercially successful, it was the first to top the charts. Its lyrics were especially notable for namechecking hip-hop pioneers Fab Five Freddy and Grandmaster Flash.
Tracklist: 01.Comateens - Ghosts (Remix) (5:30) 02.Comateens - Late Night City (3:01) 03.Comateens - The Munsters (1:52) "Ghosts" is a 1981 single by bew wave band Comateens formed in 1978 in New York City by bassist/vocalist Nic North and guitarist Ramona Jan. Soon after, Lyn Byrd joined on vocals and synthesiser, and the duo became a trio. When Jan departed in 1980, North's brother Oliver joined on guitar, completing the final lineup. The bahd's debut album became a cult favorite among college hipsters, especially the band's remake of “The Munsters Theme". Lyn Byrd designed the sleeve for the US 12". The dancing skeletons on the cover is the engraving "El Jarabe En Ultratumba" (A Jig Beyond The Grave) by 19th century Mexican artist JOSÉ POSADA, and copied from a 1958 art magazine belonging to Nic and Oliver's Dad. The band's British manager PETER LEAK was drafted to speak a line during the intro of the "Ghosts" remix, which ultimately caused some confusion regarding the bands NY roots.

It's Devo. According to Gerald Casale from the audio commentary for their film, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, "Peek-a Boo! was a song about Devo's circus-like look and the dark side of human nature, the side we try to keep secret, the side we try to deny, in this Christian world where we're only supposed to have happy endings and only supposed to be good, and instead Devo is dealing with what evil is here in a very light-hearted manner." In the United States the song reached #106 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 and #13 on the Billboard Dance chart. In Australia the "Peek-a-Boo!" peaked at #45 on ARIA Top 100.

Tracklist: 01.Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (12" Mix) (6:14) 02.Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (Standard Mix) (3:52) 03.Band Aid - Feed The World (4:17) Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for relief of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. The original version was produced by Midge Ure and released by Band Aid on 29 November 1984. In October 1984, a BBC report by Michael Buerk was aired in the UK, which highlighted the famine that had hit the people of Ethiopia. Irish singer Bob Geldof saw the report and wanted to raise money. He called Midge Ure from Ultravox and together they quickly co-wrote the song, "Do They Know It's Christmas?". Geldof kept a November appointment with BBC Radio 1 DJ Richard Skinner to appear on his show, but instead of discussing his new album (the original reason for his booking), he used his airtime to publicise the idea for the charity single, so by the time the musicians were recruited there was intense media interest in the subject. Geldof put together a group called Band Aid, consisting of leading British and Irish musicians who were among the most popular of the era. On 25 November 1984, the song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, and was released four days later. The 1984 original became the biggest selling single in UK Singles Chart history, selling a million copies in the first week alone. It stayed at Number 1 for five weeks, becoming Christmas number one, and has sold 3.69 million copies domestically. It remained the highest selling single in UK chart history until 1997, when Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" was released in tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, which sold almost 5 million copies in Britain. Worldwide, the single had sold 11.8 million copies by 1989. Following the release of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984 and record sales in aid of famine relief, Geldof then set his sights on staging a huge concert, 1985's Live Aid, to raise further funds. The song was re-recorded in 1989 by Band Aid II and in 2004 by Band Aid 20, again raising funds for famine relief. The 2004 version of the song sold 1.16 million copies.

This series is a run of artists who were lost in the abyss of 1980s music culture. This series may include artists who you have never heard of, or obscure singles from well known favorites. Either way, these records are ones that are favorites of mine. I think they deserve to be given a second chance. Who knows? You may discover a new favorite. So let's open our minds and ears to some great lost 80s gems! The Birmingham, England band "Paparazzi" are one of those bands that do not have much information about them on the internet. The four piece band definately took their inspiration from the New Romantic movement of the early 80s. They sound like clones of Japan, Ultravox, or Duran Duran. They only released two singles, and according to the record sleeve of this 12", a forthcoming album was on the way titled, "Cold in a Warm Climate". I don't think MCA Records ever released it and the band became one who disappeared into the Totally Obscure 80s. "Don't Stay All Night" was produced by Thereza Bazar a British-Canadian singer, best known as one half of the pop duo, Dollar.

Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Erasure) took the production reigns of what turned out to be the duo's only single "Just Me Alone" released on Polydor Records in 1985. With it's catchy synths and driving dance beat "Just Me Alone" could have very easily ended up as an erasure track. The b-side "Talk To You" which is just as good as the A-side was produced by multi-instrumentalist Ian Ritchie. The duo never released a full album and disappeared into the Totally Obscure 80s.

Tracklist: 01.The Human League - Empire State Human (3:11) 02.The Human League - Introducing (3:14) "Empire State Human" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. The song was written by Philip Oakey, Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh. It was co-produced by The Human League and Colin Thurston, and recorded at Monumental Studios in Sheffield. The song was the third single to be released by the original line-up of the Human League, and the first and only single from the band's 1979 debut album Reproduction. Upon its first release in October 1979, the single failed to chart. However, it was re-released in June 1980 and fared slightly better, reaching number 62 in the UK Singles Chart. For the re-release, Virgin Records included a free copy of the single "Only After Dark" with the first 15,000 copies as a sweetener. Lyrically, "Empire State Human" is a song about becoming powerful using the analogy of size, with Oakey declaring that he wants to be "tall" a total of 60 times in 3 minutes. Uncut magazine drew a comparison with Oakey's own personal ambition: “ "I wanna be tall, tall, tall, as big as a wall, wall, wall". Oakey's Nietzschian pop fantasy reflected his own burgeoning full-on pop ambitions... ” The B-side, "Introducing", is an instrumental produced by The Human League. Oakey sang on the original recording but the vocals were not used on the released version. The open shirted man on the cover artwork is band member Ian Craig Marsh's father.
Tracklist: 01.Janet Jackson - Young Love (Edited Version) (3:40) 02.Janet Jackson - Young Love (Album Version) (4:59) "Young Love" is a song by American recording artist Janet Jackson from her self-titled debut album (1982). It was written and produced by René Moore, Angela Winbush, with additional production by Bobby Watson. It was released as Jackson's debut single on July 7, 1982 by A&M Records. Prior to her rise to fame, the singer had no interest in pursuing a musical career. Despite this, she was motivated to pursue a career in entertainment, and considered the idea after recording herself in the studio. After acting in the variety show The Jacksons, she began starring in several TV series and commenced recording her debut album. The single sold 200,000 copies in the United States. "Young Love" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who highlighted it as a standout song from Janet Jackson and praised its catchiness. It peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was a success on the R&B chart, additionally peaking at number 16 in New Zealand. In order to promote her album, she performed the song on Soul Train and American Bandstand. In recent years, she has included the song on her 2008 Rock Witchu Tour and her performance at the 2010 Essence Music Festival. The "Edited Version" has never appeared on CD.
Tracklist: 01.Carol Douglas - I Got Your Body (4:49) 02.Carol Douglas - Got Ya Where I Want Ya (3:59) "I Got Your Body"/"Got Ya Where I Want Ya" is a 1983 single by American singer Carol Douglas whose hit "Doctor's Orders" (1974) was a pioneering track in the disco genre.

Tracklist: 01.Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night (Extended Version) (5:17) 02.Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night (Edited Version) (3:54) "Sunglasses at Night" is a song by Canadian singer Corey Hart. It was released on January 21, 1984 as the first single from his debut album, 1983's First Offense, and became a hit single in the United States, rising to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1984. The song combines an unflagging synthesizer hook, characteristic arpeggio, rock guitar and cryptic lyrics. AllMusic has since described it as "an instant classic with its distinctive melody and catchy chorus". According to co-producer Phil Chapman, the recording sessions for the album took place in a studio whose air conditioning/heating vents were directly above the mixing console. Air from the vents blew directly into the faces of the control room personnel, so they often wore sunglasses to protect their eyes. Hart, working on a new song, began to improvise lyrics that included the line "I wear my sunglasses at night." The music video, directed by Rob Quartly, shot at the Don Jail in Toronto, reflects the vision of a "fashion" police state, with scenes of Hart in a prison cell, without sunglasses, being strong-armed by police officers and paraded past various citizens wearing their regulation shades. Near the end of the video, Hart is taken to the office of a female police officer (who releases Hart in the song's end), played by Laurie Brown, who later became the host of The NewMusic as well as a VJ on MuchMusic. This video uses the shorter single version instead of the longer album version. On early Canadian pressings of the vinyl LP "First Offense" the shorter 3:54 version was used for the album version. Later pressings throughout the world used the 5:16 version as the LP version. Pretty sure I posted this maybe back in 2010 but removed it from the site. In any case this is a new transfer.

In the U.S. the single peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit the top ten in many countries including Canada (#7), Ireland (#1), Italy (#3) and Australia (#2). While very popular at the time, it was not appreciated by some music critics for some weakness in the lyrics and less original arrangements. The song was assisted by a popular music video, directed by Russell Mulcahy, which features hundreds of children dressed as skeletons. Lead singer Boy George is shown with his new flame-red hair, and also employs four wigs in black, white, yellow and blue. In many countries, the single was released with a B-Side consisting of a native-language version (Spanish, French, Japanese or German) of the song. It was available in two different extended versions, a first in Culture Club discography. Its 7" picture disc was shelved, and the only remaining copies are very rare. It was Culture Club's last UK top 5 hit before 1998's "I Just Wanna Be Loved". The record labels list the album title as "Waking Up In A Burning House".

Tracklist: 01.a-ha - Take On Me (Long Version) (4:46) 02.a-ha - Take On Me (Single Version) (3:47) "Take On Me" is a song by Norwegian synthpop band A-ha, first released in 1984. The self-composed original version was produced by Tony Mansfield, and remixed by John Ratcliff. The second version was produced by Alan Tarney for the group's debut studio album Hunting High and Low (1985). The song combines synthpop with a varied instrumentation that includes acoustic guitars, keyboards and drums. The original "Take On Me" was recorded in 1984 and it took two versions and three releases to finally chart in the United Kingdom, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in October 1985. In the United States in October 1985, the song became the only A-ha song to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100, due in no small part to the wide exposure on MTV of its innovative music video, directed by Steve Barron. The video features the band in a live-action pencil-sketch sequence. The video won six awards and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards. The band moved into an apartment in London and began calling on record companies and publishing houses. After a few meetings with various A&R personnel, the band signed with a publishing house called Lionheart. A-ha then returned to Norway to earn some money. When they returned to London, they left Lionheart out of frustration. They decided to record new demos, and chose the studio of musician and producer John Ratcliff, intending to re-record five songs. The band signed with Ratcliff, who in return introduced them to his manager, Terry Slater. With this encouragement, the band managed to complete some songs, including "Take On Me". After a few meetings, Slater signed them with Warner Bros. Records. The band met with producer Tony Mansfield, an expert in the use of the Fairlight CMI, who mixed the demos with electronic instrumentation. The sound was not what A-ha had hoped to achieve, and the album was remixed again. The band rushed to release "Take On Me" as a single in the United Kingdom but the single only charted at 137, the lowest-charted of all A-ha songs. After this, Warner Brothers' main office in the United States decided to invest in the band, and gave them the opportunity to re-record the song. Terry Slater convinced Alan Tarney to produce the new version. The song was soon completed and re-released in the United Kingdom, but the record label's office in London gave them little support, and the single flopped for the second time. In the United States, Warner Bros. put the group on high priority, and made the move to invest significant money in a revolutionary video for "Take On Me" using the audio version produced by Tarney. The single was released in the United States a month after the music video, and immediately appeared in the Billboard Hot 100. Magne played the main melody on a Roland Juno-60 "MIDI'd up" to a Yamaha DX7. The drum machine used on the second and third releases (rotoscoped video version) was a LinnDrum – Paul overdubbed real cymbals and hi-hat using this drum machine. Morten sang "Take On Me" using a Neumann U47 microphone as well as a Neve microphone pre-amp and Neve equaliser. AllMusic journalist Tim DiGravina described "Take On Me" as "a new wave classic laced with rushing keyboards, made emotionally resonant thanks to Morten Harket's touching vocal delicacy." In the United States "Take On Me" was not released as a domestic 12" single only as a promotional 12" with a unique one sided picture sleeve.
Tracklist: 01.Alphaville - Jet Set (Jellybean Mix) (6:28) 02.Alphaville - Jet Set (Jellybean Dub Mix) (5:08) 03.Alphaville - Golden Feeling (3:53) "Jet Set" is the fourth and last single from Alphaville's first album, Forever Young, and was released in March 1985. Re-recorded and released after founding band member Frank Mertens left the band, the 7" version drops the word 'The' from the song's title and is mildly different from the original album version. Marian Gold said of the song, "We didn't intend to write a proper song; it was supposed to be some kind of jingle that advertises things money can't buy: anarchy, freedom, love, fun and a piece of the end of the world." The Deluxe Edition re-issue of the LP "Forever Young" is now available.
Tracklist: 01.Janet Jackson - Start Anew (Single Version) (4:18) 02.Janet Jackson - Start Anew (Extended Version) (6:12) "Start Anew" was a 1985 single by American musician Janet Jackson.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Like A Virgin (Extended Dance Remix) (6:06) 02.Madonna - Stay (4:06) "Like a Virgin" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984). It was released on October 31, 1984, by Sire Records as the album's lead single. The song was written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, and produced by Nile Rodgers; Steinberg said that the song was inspired by his personal experiences of romance. "Like a Virgin" was chosen for Madonna by Michael Ostin of Warner Bros. Records after listening to a demo sung by Kelly. Rodgers initially felt that the song did not have a sufficient hook, but subsequently changed his opinion after the song was stuck in his head. Musically, "Like a Virgin" is a dance-oriented song, composed of two hooks. Madonna's voice is heard in a high register while a continuous arrangement of synths are heard along the bassline. The lyrics of the song are ambiguous and consist of hidden innuendo, interpreted in different ways. "Like a Virgin" received positive reviews from music critics, who frequently called it as one of the defining songs for Madonna. It became her first number-one single on the record charts in Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States, while reaching the top ten elsewhere. The song's music video portrayed Madonna sailing down the canals of Venice in a gondola, as well as roaming around a palace wearing a white wedding dress. With the video, scholars noted Madonna's portrayal of a sexually independent woman, similarity of a man wearing lion's mask to that of Saint Mark, and the link between the eroticism in the video and the vitality of Venice. Madonna has performed the song in seven of her concert tours. Most of the time, her performances of "Like a Virgin" were associated with strong reaction and uproar from the media. "Like a Virgin" has been covered by a number of artists and has appeared in or been referenced in feature films such as Reservoir Dogs, Moulin Rouge! and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Family groups sought to ban it as they believed the song promoted sex without marriage. On the other hand, Madonna's public persona of an indomitable, sexually unashamed, supremely confident woman was widely accepted by the younger generation who emulated her style and fashion. Scholars have credited "Like a Virgin" as the song which cemented her position as a pop culture icon.
Tracklist: 01.Sheena Easton - Strut (Dance Mix) (5:52) 02.Sheena Easton - Strut (Dub Mix) (4:20) "Strut" is a song written by Charlie Dore and Julian Littman which was a Top Ten hit single for Sheena Easton in 1984. Easton had been sent the demo for the song by Christopher Neil who had been Easton's first producer. Released in August 1984 as the advance single for the album A Private Heaven, "Strut" reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100 that November to peak at #7. Like its parent album overall, the "Strut" single and accompanying video signaled Easton's shift towards a more sexually suggestive image. The song appears to be about being upset with a man for wanting the narrator to be like a previous lover, and about the sexism of the man wanting or expecting women to behave in a certain fashion ("Strut, pout/Put it out/That's what you want from women"). "Strut" was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female at the 27th Grammy Awards. In the UK - where "Strut" was released in November 1984 - the track became the first US Top 40 single by Easton to completely miss the Top 100 of the UK charts. *The "Dub Mix" is exclusive to this US 12" promo.

After the early 1984 Top 10 UK hit with "(Feels Like) Heaven", the follow-up, a reissue of debut single "Ghost of Love", only managed to reach #64 in the UK. The band became labelled a one hit wonder, as their following releases managed to reach commercial success. "All or Nothing" was released to commercial failure, with little interest from record buyers, and it failed to make an appearance within the UK Top 100. This was despite the song receiving acclaim from music journalists as a stand-out track from the band's debut album.

Tracklist: 01.Mary Jane Girls - In My House (12" Version) (5:00) 02.Mary Jane Girls - In My House (Instrumental 12" Version) (7:16) "In My House" is a song produced, written and arranged by American musician Rick James and recorded by his protégées, the Mary Jane Girls, for their second studio album Only Four You (1985). It was released as the album's lead single in October 1984, by Motown Records. In the United States, the single went to number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in April 1985 and remained atop the chart for two weeks. It was also a top-ten hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number seven on the Hot 100 in June 1985 and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. It is the group's biggest hit and their only Top 40 hit, although they have had other singles succeed on both the R&B and Dance singles charts. In 1984, the Parents Music Resource Center was organized in the United States to draw attention to music which the group believed contained inappropriate content for children. "In My House" was chosen on the group's "Filthy Fifteen" list due to its alleged sexual innuendo. However, during the VH1 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s program, the group went on record as saying the song is not about sex, but about love. The group's follow-up single, "Wild and Crazy Love," was even more suggestive in its lyrics content, but the PMRC was not known to have attacked it as openly as it condemned "In My House." In 2009, VH1 ranked "In My House" number 52 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s. In 2018 the song was used in the opening sequence of the pilot episode of the FX series POSE.
Tracklist: 01.Pointer Sisters - Dare Me (Dance Mix) (6:17) 02.Pointer Sisters - Dare Me (Instrumental) (4:23) 03.Pointer Sisters - I'll Be There (3:34) "Dare Me" is a 1985 song originally recorded by The Pointer Sisters issued by RCA Records. "Dare Me" was written by Nashville-based songwriters Sam Lorber and Dave Innis in 1984. Innis, who shortly afterwards became a founding member of Restless Heart, was then a staff writer for Warner Bros. music publishing division, and recalls that "Dare Me" was written with the Pointer Sisters in mind, adding: "typically [staff writers] look at who's [recording] now and what kind of material are they looking for, and we would tailor a song for a particular artist and pitch it"..."Sam Lorber and I...did try to put ourselves in the place of what a gal might be thinking...not specifically trying to be a Pointer Sister, but a song written from a female perspective, for sure. There are certain things that are more gender specific and gender appropriate...certain things that a woman can say that a guy's not going to be able to get away with saying." Featuring a lead vocal by June Pointer, "Dare Me" was issued as the lead single from the Pointer Sisters' platinum-selling album Contact: peaking at number 11 on the Hot 100 in Billboard magazine, "Dare Me" did afford the Pointer Sisters a final Top Ten hit on the magazine's R&B chart peaking at number 6 and also became the only Pointer Sisters' track to reach number 1 on Billboard's Dance Club chart. "Dare Me" afforded the Pointer Sisters their final Top 40 hit in the British Isles with peaks of number 7 in Ireland and number 17 in the UK: other international chart peaks for "Dare Me" were number 10 in Australia, number 22 in Austria, number 20 in Belgium (the Flemish chart), number 26 in Finland, number 45 in the Netherlands, number 27 in New Zealand, and number 11 in Sweden. In September 1985, while the Pointer Sisters' version was on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart, American Top 40 host Casey Kasem became irritated when the show's producers placed a long distance dedication spot about a listener's dog dying immediately after "Dare Me," which was an uptempo dance song. The song in the dedication was Henry Gross' "Shannon". Kasem expressed his dissatisfaction with a profanity-laced tirade which never made the air, but has become a staple on the Internet.
