For all that, I was never really into the soul side too much, but I did invest heavily in some New Romantic corkers - 'Is It A Dream' by Classix Nouveau and 'Klactoveesedstein' by Blue Rondo a la Turk to name but two. However, they were so often disappointing - just repetitive and full of filler. By the late 80s I was already disillusioned (notable exception being the still-sublime 'Stones' by the Blue Aeroplanes.).<br /><br />I've got a great big boxful of them upstairs, that I sadly suspect are all warped by now through lack of TLC.

Spandau and Yazoo had some stormers, but Soft Cell were the masters of the extended mix. Torch and Bedsitter had extra sections and verses that made them cinematic singles. And the Tainted into Where Did Our Love go Mix was just grounbreaking..<br /><br />Try Bedeitter <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbvyF10h2HU" rel="nofollow">here<br /></a> <br /><br /><br />My first ever was Edwin Starr Contact on pink vinylMondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232389689701494095.post-33116333974248667412013-02-04T05:06:18.446-08:002013-02-04T05:06:18.446-08:00Loaded came at just the right time for me.

Having fallen in with the hippy/metal clique in sixth form I was thrilled to be off to college in October '89 so I could shake off the boundaries and actually listen properly to dancey stuff without having to sneer at it in the common room. By the time this came along towards the end of that first year I was able to openly appreciate it for what it was. Which lead to a spiral into all sorts of things that went bleep.<br /><br />But then I always liked the 12" versions too - and have snapped up all the 12"/80s collections as well as some anything else I've found since.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357929317301843307noreply@blogger.com
