New Wave Outpost Forum

My friend Max just sent me a link to The Endless Groove, which is a site comprised of a compendium of scanned photographs of New Wave singles sleeves! Really great site! Thought many of you would enjoy looking through some of the great New Wave singles artwork! Everyone from Lene Lovich, Kirsty MacColl,The Records, Joe Jackson, Gang of Four, to some prety obscure bands and artists like Jook, Ian Gomm, The Textones, and Celia and the Mutations.

Love the artwork and I really do miss the 7" and 45" singles.[V] Hope you all enjoy looking through them!

That's really great - It's a little overwhelming at first - I'll have to check it out again. I remember so many of them, and have a few.

I miss those types of covers too. It just goes to show that New Wave was more than music - but a whole cultural & artistic movement also.

By the way - I really love The Police's Can't Stand Losing You cover!

I've got some new wave 45's with the sleeves. I looked through them -- I guess I could scan the appropriate ones and email them for his web site.

Here's the one's I have that are New Wave appropriate:
David Bowie - China Girl / Shake It
The Cars - Since Your Gone / Think It Over
Duran Duran - New Moon on Monday / Tiger Tiger
Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again / Paint A Rumour
Godley & Creme - Cry / Love Bombs
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell / Crank call
Billy Idol - Hot in the City / Hole in the Wall
The Police - Syncronicity II / Once Upon a Daydream
The Police - Wrapped around Your finger / Tea in the Sahara
Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now / Let Loving Start


Additional 45 sleeves with 45's I have:
Foreigner - Urgent / Girl on the Moon
The Who - 5:15 / I’m One
The Who - You Better You Bet / The Quiet One
Joan Jett - Fake Friends / Nitetime
Jefferson Starship - Jane / Freedom at Point Zero


45's only, no sleeve
The Cars - Good Times Roll / All Mixed Up
The Cars - My Best Friend’s Girl / Don’t Cha Stop
Spandau Ballet - True
The Who - Don't Let Go The Coat / You

You just made my night. Honestly. What an amazing link. The sleeves are great. And I went to that site's links and discovered one called modpunkpop and it is also incredible....lots of great songs to listen to. I'm going nuts.
Now THAT is why I love you guys.

I'm with Dan Coogan. I wonder if they accept scans of old record sleeves. Unfortunately most of mine were damaged in a leaky attic (although luckily the actual singles survived in tact).

It is a good site.

bpdp - thanks for the heads up on modpunkpop!!! I'm in heaven!

Actually, I think he probably would accept scans from old sleeves. I noticed that he mentioned that he received many of the scans from friends.

And bpdp3, that modpunkpop site IS da bomb! Spent all afternoon going through it!
