Random 80's Wednesday

More 99 cent acquisitions on random play this week.

Social Security - Irrawaddy River (from Waterfalling, 1986)
Ups And Downs - The Living Kind (from Sleepless, 1986)
Heroes - Driftaway (from Here We Are, 1987)
The Metropolitans - Catch A New Wave (from Storybook, 1986)
The Fabulous Pop Tarts - New York City Beat (12" Single, 1986)

Full disclosure - The Metropolitans album only cost me 25 cents. These are all the opening tracks apart from Ups And Downs as the first track was a shorter introductory piece.

Heroes is a band fronted by former Wang Chung drummer Darren Costin.
