Info on release dates

Postby Max Murdoc » Sun Apr 25, 2004 1:53 am

I'm looking for release dates (month day year) on new wave albums from the late 70's to the mid 80's. I can find the year but pinning down the month and date is a challenge. Is there a website that might have what I'm looking for? I'm doing a new wave timeline and it's very interesting to see what came out when. As an example:

May 1981
1st: Split Enz "Waiata"
5th: Kraftwerk "Computer World"
7th: Bill Nelson "Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam"
7th: Classic Nouveaux "Night People"
21st: Psychedelic Furs "Talk Talk Talk"
26th: Oingo Boingo "Only A Lad"
29th: Echo and the Bunnymen "Heaven Up Here"
30th: Robyn Hitchcock "Black Snake Diamond Role"
30th: Colin Newman "Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish"

This was a great month wasn't it? I got this info from a fantastic book called "Post Punk Diary" 1980-1982 by George Gimarc. I have gathered alot of info from the book but I'm sure that there is still alot out there that he didn't mention so that's why I'm looking for more info....any ideas?
