However, thanks Iain for pointing out that my 7" copy of this great single is now worth a bit! It is a really great song. Two bits of info to add:- if you do like this synth-pop stuff try finding an mp3 or vinyl copy of Pictures Like This' "A Night's Vendetta" released circa Spring 83. I have both so can oblige if required! Secondly on the subject of Small Wonder Records, people should look out for The Carpettes "Small Wonder" single which is sheer post-punk fun from 1978! In November that year, I got to interview Pete Stennett, SW label & shop owner for a thesis I had to write on independent record labels and he said the band first heard themselves on John Peel with this record and did dodgy somersaults on an underground station platform managing to close the line down because LT thought it was a riot! Heady days!

As far as I’m concerned you can go posting cult timelocked early 80's synthpop classics until you run out of them. You may have gathered it’s one of my favoured genres : )Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086396915055033307noreply@blogger.com
