An interesting remake of some old and newer songs by the 80's Bands like Johnny Hates Jazz, Heaven 17, Wang Chung etc...

Ripped from the CDs in FLAC:

Enjoy.

Thank you for posting this. I'm not a big fan of Artists doing covers unless they completely make it their own. If the song sounds too close to the original, I just think, why bother?

The stand outs for me are:

ABC - High & Dry
Heaven 17 - Rocket Man
China Crisis - It's Too Late
Black - Wicked Game

I'm so glad that Human League/Heaven 17, after Phil Oakey left, convinced Glenn Gregory to join up finally.
I love old Human League with Phil Oakey and I also love Heaven 17 with Glenn Gregory.
I couldn't image "Heaven 17" era songs sung by Phil Oakey.

I love Curiosity Killed The Cat but this version sounds like a pub band going on their 5th straight night.
Johnny Hates Bob!?!?!

thanks
