It's easy to dismiss the eighties as the era of mullets, shoulder pads, filofaxes and greed but it was incredibly rich musically, especially the early eighties. So here's a few of the gems of that decade;
Pete Wylie was a god. He may have had that mullet but he had a hell of a way with a tune and his lyrics cut to the heart of the matter.............

Echo And The Bunnymen were another class Liverpool band...............

Furniture should have been huge but for some reason it never happened for them..............

And across the Atlantic America had The Replacements..............

Don't you love Kenny Garrett, Miles is holding his trumpet microphone close to his alto sax, as Kenny's microphone had stopped working.

The tune is part of an improvisation on Michael Jackson's "Human Nature," it just builds and builds.

Frank Sinatra. Singing "One for My Baby" (at 4.00 in the video)

Hmm..

I wonder where I could get one of these?....



I've all versions of the Blade Runner films, plus the Vangelis cassette tape of the music, (yeah! it's that old!) and the hardback book, "Blade Runner 2, Edge of Reason," by K W Jeter.

Nice framed photograph of a Young Sean Young at 4.46 in this clip.
