So here is the much sought after record, Paradox, along with three other rare gems. A little quiz for you. Who was the frontman of the band The Drivers? and what band did he go on forming in 1985? Their debut single was a smash hit all over the world. no cheating please. close your discogs pages! Also make sure to give Pukka Orchestra a good and uninterrupted listen. Beautiful record. The Bongos Must be known to most of you, if not all. Enjoy. Paradox - Paradox [1989] The Bongos - Numbers With Wings-Beat Hotel The Drivers - Short Cuts [1983] The Pukka Orchestra - The Pukka Orchestra
Thanx! Nice with the Bongos and I'll give Pukka Orchestra a fair chance.
About the quiz - sorry, without Google I don't have a clue.

Do you have an album by a band called White China, they supported the great Big Country back in the day, Im told it never got released but you seem to be the guy that could answer my prayers at last - 80zforever can you help me pleeeeezze!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the quality tunes its so great to hear them again after all these years!!!! Great stuff, keep up the good work.
here's the answer to your little quiz the frontman of this band "The Drivers" is Nick Van Eede, then in 1985 he formed the group called Cutting Crew........hope i'm right..God Bless You 80s (p.s.) do you have any album of the group TOMBOY?

Simon170468, although info on White china is sketchy, it appears that they released only 2 snigles: Smiles And Jokes and Real World. However I have been told there should be an unreleased, full lp as the recording company dumped the band. These two songs are available in the rare hits of the 80s mixes in case you have not already got them. Cheers
80zforever at 2008-12-03 00:47 CET:
aztec, you got it right! yes it's Nick Van Eede of Cutting Crew. And your reward would be two records from Tomboy that you're looking for. I will post them later tonight as for now all my bandwidth is going to this new post.
More neat stuff as always, thanks mucho...
wow, Thanxs in advance. i can't wait until tonight. i hope you include the song Why?...God Bless You Always 80z, anyway, i just want to know which part of the world are you from? there's nothing personal! Greetings from Arizona by Aztec.....
By far my favourite of all the 80s torrents so far. :)
Thanks again 80s. That waterline song really took me back.

Hey 80zforever!!
A quick question...I'm looking for one track from Rational Youth, and hoping you might have it...it's the 12" version of "Bang On" -- it clocks in at 6:55. You don't happen to have this, would you??
Their site: http://www.rationalyouth.ca/RYDiscog.html
shows it as a promo release.
Thanks!!!

Hi! Thanx for the great music! I have myself a huge new wave collection but I'm always looking for obscure tracks eheheh
Would U have the albums Watching the Film, Mazuka Dan and Swallow Glass of Flaming Mussolinis? I have a few tracks like My Cleopatra, Catholic Wedding, Swallow Glass, Landslide, A Long Way to Fall but I'm wondering if I missed something... I do have the album Charmed Life.
I'm also looking for Voice Of America's EP. I only have the tracks I Will Tell and Story Of Love. Thanx a lot

No way! The DRIVERS!! Always been one of my favorite records. Back in college I picked it out of a used record store bin; it had been a promotional copy from the Ohio State University radio station. It had a hand written comment on it, "Destined to be the next Knack or Police!" Obviously not, but a good enough album to have been! Thanks, 80zforever!
Thanks, love these packs
