<br>Hmmm...looks like the pump needs more priming:

A lot of generous priming by Eight-6 and not much response.

Relegated to the B-side of the Falling LP, I always liked this Blue Peter track, "Head Over Heels". Sorry its a little scratchy.

Thanks Zill...doesn't seem to be much interest. I'll try one more:

I don't know much about Chain of Fun, except the group members were all brothers (plus one or two extras) and had the luxury of using their dad's recording studio. Not so much a classic as a song with an interesting bassline.

Eight6, Blir and Zill: Amazing contributions guys! Here's a little ditty I got from Schwenko a while back that I always liked:

Yet another thread rendered unreadable by the unfathomable habit of unnecessarily quoting huge chunks of text.

And isn't it The GlamourCult?

What huge chunks of text? Oh, that, just ignore it. I try to.

You're welcome, and feel free to throw a track or two into the thread...it could use the help.

I can't recall exactly but I think was The Drivers follow up single to Tears On Your Anorak, at least in Canada. This is All The Rage...

And I quote Mr. Pat Fish if I may...[;)]
"I don't care what's on TV...I just wanna drink 'till I can't see"

A fantasic tune from the Jazz Butcher called Soul Happy Hour.

Thanks to everyone that posted some great songs.
I am trying to find something to post myself, but I haven't come up with anything that may be obscure for you guys.

To keep this going, this is by Steve Jansen (Japan) and Yukahiro Takahashi (YMO) - the b-side of their 1986 single.

Hope this works:

It was 1980 when Pittsburgh's Pete Hewlett (singer) hooked up with drummer Michael Shrieve (Santana) in New York and Stephen Dees (bass), a highly respected session player. They formed: "Novo Combo".

They were signed to Polygram and put out two albums: A Self-Titled in 1981 and a year later their last, second album: "The Animation Generation". They sang a fantastic mix of Power-Pop and New Wave which i consider similar to Atlanta's "The Producers".

Novo Combo toured with The Who, Cheap Trick, Greg Lake and performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival. From 1982, here's "Novo Combo" with "The Animation Generation !"
