I am totally grooving to the extended version of Talk Talk It's My Life on this one...

[wormster]

[wasproxy]

Another blast on that tape was PWEI

I actually had "This Is The Day.." on cassette and listened to "Wise Up Sucker" incessently back then...

[rewind]

Er, DRE played 10CC "I'm Not In Love"?

[wormster]

yeah, i dont know how 10cc slipped in there..Must have been my love torn teenage years..

[rewind]

That's OK...big boys don't cry.

Does anyone know the name of the song on tape 8a at the 2:22 minute mark? It goes "I love your face and i love your smile and I love your ways I say that is why."
Thanks and thanks for sharing these awesome tapes. [:D]

[/quote]Don't have the tape at hand, but based on the lyrics you quoted it's "Love Your Face" by Boom Boom Room.

wow,sally i would never remembered that name.. a one hit wonder if i ever saw one...but i love the one hit wonders. some OHW{one hit wonders}were played into the ground and some were heard a few times and never played again and I would almost lust to hear them again which is why many of my tapes have OHW.

[/quote]One hit wonder, true, but they are a better band than you might think. I believe they put out two records (out of print), and they're both pretty good. Not killer-classics, but worth having.

Actually, their bigger hit worldwide -- and one of my faves -- is the very Icehouse-like "Here Comes The Man":
