I stumbled on this site a few months ago when I was Googling a couple of songs that I eventually found on ebay, but only recently found the this message board. What a great spot on the internets! The topics and songs I've seen talked about a swapped here are scratching itches I didn't know I even had anymore!
I'm from the NYC area, and remember the heyday of WLIR and the Screamers of the week like it was just... 25 years ago(!)- Heck i remember when WPIX in New York was a New Wave station in the late '70's.
Anyway - on with the show: I've got some requests for some songs that I haven't heard in forever, or have been dying to get my hands on for even longer. But first, the offerings. I've posted on yousendit a handful now, and will post more in a few days. I don't think any of these are "easily found" on CD, which is why I'm sharing.
The Original Flying Pickets - Only You

The Creatures - Right Now (which I've spent a LONG time looking for)
http://s64.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WQB ... K44Z418V00
I hope to get a bonus "Right Now" (the Mel Torme version) posted next time.
On with the requests. I'm going to start with the ones that I can't believe I remember:
Vicious Pink - Can't you see
Loose Joints - Tell You Today
Kissing The Pink - Love Lasts Forever
Way of The West - City For Lovers
Floy Joy - Weak in the Presence of Beauty
Anti Nowhere League - Woman (yeah, that fits in this group)
Again - thanks to everyone on this board that takes time to share - this music is the best!
...and you may say to yourself: "My God, what have I done?"
And then again, you may not.
