Sorry to hear that, life seems to have a strange knack of throwing many curved balls at you almost simultaneously when one is more than enough to deal with.

Thank you so much! 
Didn’t Jam/Lewis do one of the Human League albums (Hysteria I think) where the girls where ridiculously big ear rings for the track Human? I think they’d already been ‘done in’ by Martin Rushent by that stage.

Ok, more Atlantian themes, let’s start with a nice little ditty from what I can only describe as some nice ladies singing supporting vocals to Elrond with a cold:

Listening to the SHM-CD version, will have to follow up with the original and see how they compare.

80’s cheese continues unabated, To Whom It May Concern, The Pasadenas, 1988.
I tell you what, there are no Roger Water’s type lyrics going on here, in fact the lads sound full of that vim and verve of yesteryear.

Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out The Lights
Richard Thompson (Accordion, Dulcimer, Guitar, Hammer Dulcimer, Vocals), Linda Thompson (Vocals), Stephen Barnett (Trombone), Lal Carthy (Vocals), Martin Carthy (Vocals), Mike Carthy (Vocals), Norma Carthy (Vocals), Stephen Corbett (Cornet), Mark Cutts (Trombone), Phil Goodwin (Tuba), Clive Gregson (Vocals), Brian Jones (Cornet), Dave Mattacks (Drums), Simon Nicol (Guitar, Rhythm Guitar), Norma (Vocals), Dave Pegg (Bass), Lal Waterso (Vocals), Mike Waterson Vocals ), Norma Waterson (Vocals), The Watersons (Vocals) and Pete Zorn (Bass, Vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (444.1/16)… A mention of Linda’s ‘Did She Jump Or Was She Pushed’ track was mentioned on the ’ Greatest Male/Female Vocal Performances’ thread so I thought I would give the album a listen. Richard, Linda and the band are sounding sweet and enjoying the opening tracks! …it has been awhile since it has been out for a spin.

Ooh yes, have that too.
The mid to later 80’s were really dire in general musically in the UK but there were little bits of fun.

Agree, so much shocking stuff, the thing is my 17 year old daughter keeps asking me for 80’s recommendations. Talk about pressure!

Late 70s/early 80s is far easier as there was unrivalled stuff around at that point - primarily thinking new wave and early popular electronica as well as the ‘big boys’ like Duran Duran/Spandau/Japan and so forth.

Don’t think I can listen to her voice for long but interesting taking on The Stones’s Dead Flowers.

I think the formula is mix - 1 part Macy Gray, 1 part latter day Marianne Faithfull and 1 part 50 cigarettes a day.
