What a great year to be 14! I bought Positive Touch on the strength of ‘It’s Gonna Happen’ and the glorious ‘Julie Ocean’. Back then, artists seemed to pack so much into their records, like the horn break in the ‘Tones song - like a completely different piece of music. I was also a MASSIVE Teardrops fan, and a pleasant and welcome surprise to see them sporting their Liverpool style for the world to follow! Duran Duran have their own ideas about how young men should dress - interesting to see which styles have persevered over the decades. I first hear ‘Sound of the Crowd’ while on holiday in Wales - the synth sound blew me away (all dance music has a debt to this) but it was the bizarre chorus that grabbed my attention. It’s a pity they chose a poppier direction rather than the punkier elements of their early lineup. The major difference back then though was how diverse the charts were - if you were cool about it, you would find something to enjoy in Smokey Robinson’s music as much as XTC or Wire or Buggles or Grandmaster Flash, the Specials, even Shakey and Chas’n’Dave’s folky singalongs (Ossie’s moment was always a crowd pleaser). And how much of it was produced in an independent spirit - driven by small business rather than global corporations. There are hints of the world to come - Kim Wilde is wonderful to look at, but the song sounds like a committee wrote it - she needed strong songs like Kids in America. And ‘Stars on 45’, in which past hits are recycled into a convenient, dance-friendly four minutes, should have been a warning to us all 😊

Wow! I’ve never seen this music video of Smokey Robinson before, but I always loved that song. Amazing to have The Human League, Duran Duran, and The Teardrop Explodes all live on the same episode!! North America experienced a year or two delay in really embracing these synth-pop groups. The Blitz Club had already closed by the time this was aired.
