Sherrick – Just Call

Pretty smooth 80s soul from the singularly named Sherrick. No info on this fella at all, I just like the tune

Change – Mutual Attraction

Ooooooh gosh! There’s been very little in the way of rare groove and 80s soul up here for a while. Time to fix that…

Talk Talk – Such A Shame

A lovely 80s track from Talk Talk who released some great tunes. They’re one of the few bands from that era that actually had excellent albums as well as quality singles. In fact, album-wise they got better after they became less popular. Their later efforts “Colour Of Spring” and “Spirit Of Eden” are lovely chilled out albums that I recommend highly. This single was released in 1984 and still sounds lovely today.

You can see the original video on YouTube but EMI wouldn’t let me embed that here. They were a funny looking bunch.

Alexander O’Neal – Never Knew Love Like This

So, first things first: Alexander O’Neal is a G. He’s made some massive tunes that smash up dancefloors which you should really know about already. He did a few duets with Cherrelle in the 80s that were some serious lovers’ tunes and this was one of them. Big man riddim…

The Psychedelic Furs – President Gas

In a mood for guitar music this morning. I love The Psychedelic Furs, they had some big tunes back in the 80s. They provided the wicked theme tune to John Hughes’s Pretty In Pink but it’s their other tunes that I’m more into. Check this one for a slice of new wave goodness
