Retro Spins: A Flock Of Seagulls - A Flock Of Seagulls



One of the first new wave bands of the 80's, and credited from defining dance music as it would evolve into, A Flock Of Seagulls became a mainstay on radio stations in 1982 with their hit, "I Ran (So Far Away). While it wouldn't be their only hit, it would be their most popular, as well as, the only one to crack the top ten.

While I wish I could sit here and tell you how influential the band was to me growing up in the 80's, or how their music defined what I listened to from the era, the sad truth of the matter is that I didn't even really like the song until 2007. Though I knew of the song, I Ran (So Far Away) in the 80's, I really never listened to it. It wasn't until, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's, that I heard it from start to finish. I remember being really surprised at the guitar work on the track. It was pretty solid.

No, I didn't rush out and buy the album that day. Far from it. It wouldn't be another thirteen years until I would bother with that. And this was only because it made it to my low priority category of 80's albums to collect.

After hearing the 1982 self titled debut album from the band, I can honestly say, I Ran (So Far Away), was really the only stand out track. So much so, that I couldn't even tell you how any of the other songs go. I've already forgotten them all.

As an 80's staple, it's a good album to have among my collection, but it is by no means a must own or a determent should it have been omitted.

Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas, all!

As we spend time with friends and family, we first and foremost rejoice the true reason of the day. Though we will exchange many gifts today, none is more precious than the gift of salvation offered by our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. We thank you father for all you have provided, and celebrate you, the true reason of this, and every day. Amen.

Christmas CD Countdown 2023! December 24th

  

A couple years ago, or maybe just last year, I can't remember, I started packing away CD"s I was buying between October and November to have myself a CD a day Christmas countdown. It's like getting a gift every day leading up to the holiday. It helps tied over the excitement of the coming day, and well, it's just fun.

This year's focus was live albums, and 80's discography clean up. The latter meaning that it wasn't necessarily an album I had on my want list for a specific song, but rather to have an entire decade collection of a specific artist.

The Christmas countdown wraps up with a DVD.


It's the greatest live concert of the 80's, and possibly of all time. Live Aid filled stages in both Wembley Stadium in the UK, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in the US for a whopping 16 hour show. All proceeds went to famine relief for Africa, raising over 140 million dollars when it was all said and done. The lineup featured more than 75 acts, including Elton John, Queen, Madonna, Santana, Run DMC, Sade, Sting, Bryan Adams, the Beach Boys, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Duran Duran, U2, the Who, Tom Petty, Neil Young and Eric Clapton. Like I said, possibly the greatest concert of all times. Unfortunately, it's never been released on CD. But, I suppose with the DVD's I can make that happen for myself.

I've never been a fan of Whoopi Goldberg, and honestly never saw what the appeal was. I tell you what though, this soundtrack excites me. Bananarama, Kool & The Gang, The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, and more feature tracks on this. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

Today we have a single, and by no means an amazing one.


It's a perfectly horrible song for all the right reasons, and so 80's. Frank and Moon Zappa's Valley Girl is one that you play when you want to give someone a taste of oddity from the era.

Tina Turner was at the top of her game in the 80's, and I imagine she brings all her high energy to this double CD live album. The track listing is jam packed with hits. What You Get Is What You See, Typical Male, Better Be Good To Me, Private Dancer, We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome), What's Love Got To Do With It...And all those tracks are just part of disc one!

Oddly enough, I used to own this one, but tossed it out with a bunch of other CD's I just decided one day that I didn't want. That was a stupid mistake, and one I still regret to this day. 

It's frequently touted as one of the greatest live albums of the era. Is it true? I don't know. I've never heard it. It seems to have a pretty decent track listing. I suppose if there's a silver lining to rebuying it, this one is actually the target German pressing. Those are always fun to have.

Retro Spins: Shannon - Let The Music Play



I don't tend to get too much into the realm of dance or R&B music. Mind you, I have quite a few albums for those one or two hits of the 80's, but it's not really my thing. Such is the case with today's Retro Spin, Let The Music Play from Shannon.

1984 was a pretty happening time in 80's music. It was around this year that things got really good. It saw a lot of new artists hitting the scene, most of them in a big way, as well as, a boom in the world of pop music. It was good times!

Among them was new artist, Shannon. Her debut album, Let The Music Play, would not only go on to sell over a million copies, but win the artist her first Grammy Award in 1985. Not bad considering the competition.

As for the album itself, well, like I said in my opening statement, I'm not too big into the realm of dance or R&B. While I won't say I hated the album, I also won't say I liked it. It was okay. I definitely enjoyed the song I purchased the record for, that being the title track, Let The Music Play. That's a hot one.

Beyond that, Shannon really wasn't my thing. Couldn't really get into it, but again, didn't hate it. Overall, glad to have it in my collection.

It's blamed for ruining live albums for everyone.


When Bruce Springsteen released his definitive live box set known as Live: 1975 - 85, the music industry turned upside down. It's rumored that this contributed greatly to why many artists didn't release live albums in the 80's. They simply couldn't compete with the massive tome Springsteen unleashed. Of course, the other side to that matter was that MTV ushered in an era where fans wanted to see the artists, not just just hear them. Despite not releasing albums, many did go on to release VHS tapes of full concerts.

G.I. Joe Beer (Schell's Brewery)


G.I. Joe Beer
Schell's Brewery
1980

Prior to the massive Hasbro revival, and most likely unrelated to the brand in general, Schell's Brewery released the 1980 branded G.I. Joe Beer. Being three years old at the time, I had no knowledge of this drink, and not owning an empty can until around 2020, I have no clue what it would have tasted like. Suffice to say, it was beer, and I imagine probably resembled many of the common brands on the market at the time.

These days, the remaining cans to be found typically find their ways to fans of the vintage action figure lines, and because of that, are probably more popular than they otherwise would have been. They serve more so as a conversation piece.

They aren't too common, but still, relatively cheap when found. Typically, there are two types of sellers. The one who has multiple cans that they're trying to offload at $5.00 a piece, and the one off seller who is trying to get double that price.


Overall, it's a fun little collectible to add to your own G.I. Joe shelf.

I'm torn on this one. It's technically an 80's album, being recorded in 1981, but contains songs from the 60's and 70's.


I'm talking about Simon and Garfunkel's The Concert In The Park. It's touted as one of the greatest live albums of all time, and fit in with my desire to get more live recordings from the decade. But, again, there's not exactly any songs from the era. They all come from the due's original studio albums. Does it still count as an 80's album?

Feargul Sharkey scratched that itch perfectly when I came across his 1985 hit, A Good Heart. He's got a Rod Stewart kind of vibe going to him. It took me a while to actually find this album on CD because it was actually never released in the US. I final found one from a seller in the UK. Man, that international shipping is ridiculous these days.

Pointed Sticks is an early punk band who came and went in the blink of an eye in the 70's / 80's. They formed in 78, and disbanded by 81, releasing only four singles, and one studio album during that time. Their album, Perfect Youth wouldn't be released on CD until 2005, and even though it was released in the new Millennium, remains hard to find.
