His Latest Flame - America Blue (1990)


Here's another recent find from Notting Hill, a 12" EP from the ever popular Scottish songbirds. "America Blue" was from their album In The Neighbourhood but I believe the other three tracks were exclusive to this release.

3. Footsteps
4. Londonderry Road (Acoustic Version)

I've just been visiting 80's Vinyl Gems which is a new blog I have not seen before. Great posts featuring Black, Vicious Pink, John Foxx, etc., etc. Very nice!!

Actually it's been around for a couple of years, I guess I just have not been paying attention!

Unique - His Golden Hand LP (1988)


Over the years I have posted music on the blog, I've always been excited to feature rare and unusual acts I have not seen anywhere else. A couple of years ago I featured a single by Seeing Red from my home island of Guernsey. After attending a local record fair last autumn I also found this LP, which I vaguely remembered being advertised locally at the time, but I had not seen since. I don't know anything about Unique as an artist, but the album was produced by Tim Bran who went on to be involved in Dreadzone. A very rare example of a modern rock/new wave/indie dance record wholly recorded and sold in the Channel Islands. I hope you enjoy this one!

Unique - His Golden Hand (1988)

1. Moon Music Overture
2. I Got Younger
3. Eskimo
4. Inchman
5. Tear of Fire
6. I Got Younger (Nappy Remix)
7. Safe As Houses
8. But I Wasn't Laughing
9. When The World Started Turning
10. I Am Not An Animal

Side One
Side Two

[Update] After discovering the second album, Psychadermic (released in 1991) I found a MySpace page here, in which Unique and his band The Style Warriors show every intention of growing old disgracefully!

[Second Update] I've now re-ripped and posted the album again in two parts.

Feargal Sharkey - Listen To Your Father (1984)


12" Single, released in 1984


Someone asked if I had this one ages ago, but I didn't have it. Then, recently, I was visiting Notting Hill in London for the first time in about 17 years and I found it in the bargain basement at Music and Video Exchange. Appropriately enough, I bought it on Father's Day.

September - Slowly (1986)


7" Single, released in 1986


The B-Side was a boring instrumental version, so I opted not to post that. Now tell me, were the 80's sexy or what?

Delta - Footsteps In The Sand (1987)


7" Single, released in 1987
