Here's my contribution. It's a track I picked up from a German website about five years ago. I have the whole album on CD, it cost a few bucks but I'd say it's worth it.

Don't know anything about the band though, except they were on a French record label.

Let me add my second. It's another Cherry Vanilla track from her first album "Bad Girl." It's called "Liverpool" which I assume was inspired when she, Wayne County & some of the Max's Kansas City crew moved to the UK to join in on the early punk scene.

She also does a shout out to her original back-up band members - Stewart & Sting....

My Friday offering...

Benjamin Orr - In Circles (from the late Cars bassist's 1986 solo album <I>The Lace[/i])

http://s59.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2IL9 ... 52Y7U1C2G0

Veteran NTT gamers may recall this stumper from NTT5. Even if you grabbed my download back then, you may want to get it again - this rip is from the rare and pricey OOP CD. My earlier rip was from the vinyl.

Some awesome stuff here!

My 1983 "Falling" LP by Blue Peter is in rough shape and when I ripped it I fear I may have overprocessed it.

Everyone knows "Don't Walk Past", but the rest of the album is pretty good. This is "All Your Time".

Here's another hard to find single mix with a Robert Fripp mix on the guitars. the Flying Lizards "Hands 2 Take" single.
http://s60.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=29Z9 ... HMTT7WKBJS
Michael Moers 1990 solo "Kissing Le Fish" is another very cool release from the Telex frontman. Has Telex all over it and the whole cd is like a missing telex album.

<br>Wow, what a great thread! Here is my contribution:

Anne Clark - Sleeper in Metropolis

http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=05ST ... AOGQ3657J6

It amazes me how overlooked this pioneer was. What can I say, I am a sucker for minimalistic teutonic futurisms over synthetic beats - and she has a hot voice.

I'm pretty sure the guy repsonsible for the music on Sleeper in Metropolis was David Harrow, who made some of the most interesting music of the 80's. The guy also had a few kickass hairstyles too.

Here is one of his songs, Our Little Girl:

Here's #2 from me...

Johansen was a Canadian artist who released one album in 1987 and sounded a bit like Eddy Grant. He was a producer who worked with many artists like Grant as well as Martha & the Muffins, Nash The Slash and others and went on to work with Mick Jagger on his Primitive Cool album.

Quality isn't too bad for ripping from a cassette.
