I was flipping through an old Sounds magazine from 1984 recently and I found an article on a band I had never heard of. Valerie And The Week Of Wonders. There's no Valerie in the band, It's three guys who look sort of like Talk Talk. I couldn't find much online from the band except this one video, and I REALLY loved it...
Valerie And The Week Of Wonders - Ships On The Clyde (1985)
This is from the description of the video "Valerie & The Week of Wonders, were conceived at Glasgow School of Art in the early 80's by Gerry Burns (now the leading Scottish artist Gerard M. Burns) & Brian McFie (subsequently The Big Dish & Marianne Faithfull Band) and were joined by Greg Kane (subsequently Hue & Cry) & Ewan McFie. Signed to A&M Records & Rondor Publishing, Ships On The Clyde, recorded at Palladium Studios, Edinburgh, 1984, was produced by Bobby Henry & engineered by Jon Turner & Gordon Rintoul. It was produced and directed in this video format by Jim Gillespie ("I Know What You Did Last Summer", "D-Tox", & "Venom") and featured in a 1985 Old Grey Whistle Test video competition for unsigned bands, judged by Kevin Godley & Lol Crème."
They didn't officially release this song, but they did put one single out. It's also really good.
