Random 80's Wednesday



Screen 3 - City of Souls (7" Single, 1983)
Amazulu - Cairo (7" Single, 1983)
Robert Holmes - Angel In The House (7" Single, 1989)
The Hostages - Going Up In The World (7" Single, 1984)
Ranch - Put Your Love In Me (7" Single, 1985)

Here are some of the singles I recently bought through eBay. I can also post the B-Sides if anyone is interested.

Robert Holmes was the lead singer of Red Guitars for a time. If anyone has a copy of his 1989 album The Age of Swing, I'd like to hear it.

I don't know anything about The Hostages, I believe this was their only release. The artwork was by Mark Wilkinson, who also worked with Marillion and Fish.

Likewise, I could not find any other releases by Ranch. A good song, though.

"Cairo" is a classic downtempo reggae groove and was later included on the self-titled Amazulu album, although it was much less poppy than their big hits.

Screen 3 is a Norwich band who released several hard to find singles.

You can either email me the tracks or upload to mediafire, megaupload, or rapidshare. Whatever works for you.

Hi,
I am Neil Dyer, and I was the singer/songwriter with Screen 3. I was just googling one of our singles and came across this blog. I am flattered that you include one or two of our tracks on your blog.
I put a new website up over a year ago, and it's still not complete, but here's the link:

I am sharing a few rarer items via soulseek if any of you are familiar with that 'outlet'...

Fond regards,
Neil
