REQ: The News "Blue Thru" pre-Classix Nouveaux single

Postby LPCDMP3 » Mon May 10, 2021 6:11 am

Anyone happen to have the one and only single from The News - "Blue Thru" / "I Will Survive"?
Just saw a recent interview with Sal Solo and he mentioned it, the A-side is on YouTube and that voice is unmistakable.
Thanks!

That's all I have: https://we.tl/t-77G9jU3rzb

Got it from the old blog that presented rare records in mp3 with hideous 96 kbps. Would love to get the single in lossless :D as "Blue thru" is fantastic, a lost classic.

Thank you very much, U-vox, great rip, very clean! Not too far from Classix musically and even vocally, by the way, maybe a bit "up" for them but otherwise tailor-made for, say, "La verite".

What does "blue thru" means actually? Anybody? :D

Thanks very much Passing Stranger and Uvox!
I'm so hooked on this song! I wish this had been included on the recent Classix box set.

"What does "blue thru" means actually? Anybody?"

This is my 2 guesses.

"Blue Thru" (True Blue) is a reference to a person who is loyal to the British Conservative Party.
It might be a song about Margaret Thatcher.

Or

It just might be about a depressive person.
Blue often means a sad depressive mood.
