Cock Robin - The Promise You Made

I was suddenly reminded of this when I accidentally stumbled across a dodgy Eurodance version of the song. The original is, of course, infinitely better and reminds me of the summer of 1986 when it seemed to be climbing the charts at a rate of one position a week for most of the summer, eventually settling at number 28.

For those of you with a strong stomach, here is the dance version by Kate Ryan:

Stan Ridgway - The Big Heat

Yes, there was always more to Stan Ridgway than novelty songs about ghost soldiers...

Wham! - Where Did Your Heart Go?

Well, I never knew there was a video for this, the D-side of Wham!'s farewell double single The Edge Of Heaven. Unfortunately Sony BMG have decided that it's far too dangerous to allow anyone to embed this video anywhere, which kind of begs the question why did they put it on YouTube in the first place? Anyway, to see it, click here...

It's Immaterial - Ed's Funky Diner

The follow-up to their slightly better remembered hit Driving Away From Home. It's Immaterial are, in true Spinal Tap tradition, currently residing in the "Where Are They Now?" file.

Kissing The Pink - One Step

This lot had a hit in 1983 with The Last Film and then that was pretty much it, although they continued to release some excellent overlooked singles, including this one.
