Do you or Anybody have video collections too called Video Wave from Virgin 1980 0r 1981 Released?
I've been looking 1 song in it for almost 30 years of hunting still can't found it, the problem is I got no chance to know the band name only saw 2 times in street.

If someone can give me a clue I'll be the happiest man in the world and i can closed my eyes when I die.

Thank You

Once again outstanding stuff 80s - Sideway look were superb and I havent heard anything from the March Violets in god knows how long!!!!!!!! Thanks again you are the best!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have the explorers by any chance?

Wow, The March Violets! Thank you. I have Natural History in MP3, but made from a cassette recording of the original vinyl, so the quality ain't great. Yours is probably excellent. I've got Electric Shades, so will upload that.

Totally amazing uploads. The best ever. You got any music by the female singer Ronny?

di98bno, I just know and have stuff from singer Ronny but he's male, with songs such as To Have & Have Not, Compare Me With the Rest and If You Want Me to Stay. His style is synth-pop/dark wave kind of French new wave. Unless you're referring to a different Ronny. Cheers

80zforever - Plz (oh plz) tell me you have the albums "1-2-1" and "Imagine It" by the Canadian band "One to One"! I found the first album "Forward Your Emotions"; but have never been able to find the others.

Thanx Thwip!!!

80z: Ahh yes "to have and have not", I thought that was an androgyn female singer =) Rusty Egan got something to do with him

Hi 80z AND di98bno
di98bno is right, Ronny was the androgyn female singer who sang Compare Me With The Rest and To Have And Have Not,she was also on one of Ultravox´s sleeves,I think she was french,You can find more info on her here,

Do you accept donations? Your contribution has become absolutely mind-bottling. ;P

Thank you for spreading all these 80's music gems here.

Ronny used to be a Top French Model. Ronny was brought up in the grim Northern industrial area of France and left home at 14 to go to Paris, there lying about her age and doing terrible jobs. Took dancin classes and jobs then stopped everything and started to write songs. Club entrepreneur Rusty Egan met Ronny in the Paris club Privelege and co-produced with Midge Ure her best release, Vangelis, Georg Kajanus and Peter Godwin also produced for her. Ronny, a masculine name, is the blitz girl who loved to dress up as a boy and also appear on the Ultravox 'Station' record sleeve."
"Is it a man? Is it a woman? No, this is Ronny, a French singer who briefly worked with Vangelis, another one-off collaborations Vangelis has from time to time. She experienced her proverbial ?15 minutes of fame? during 1981/1982, when she released three solo-singles, did some concerts and worked with a number of other New Wave acts. For example, she also did vocals on a Zaine Griff track on the ?What, Me Worry?? album (on"This Strange Obsession" ) by Yukihiro Takahashi, of Yellow Magic Orchestra fame.The second of those singles, Compare me with the rest, was composed and produced by Vangelis. How this brief partnership originated is unknown, maybe it was because she too recorded for Polydor. Her being French would have helped as well ? interestingly, she gave the same reason as Vangelis did some years earlier for leaving France to try her luck in England: the unresponsive atmosphere of the French music-world at the time. That and her striking ?woman in men?s clothes? image will have something to do with the lyrics to ?Compare Me With The Rest?."
Zaine Griff himself joined Ronny on stage to play bass and provide backing vocals for one song. Ronny recorded two of Zaine?s songs, ?It?s A Sin? and ?The Darker Side Of Me?, although it appears that neither has ever been released."

80zforever has uploaded the song To Have And To Have Not (Single Version) in Rare Hits of The 80s Vol. 34. I also have the song If You Want Me To Say. Personally, I don't find her outstanding but well it's a matter of appreciation.

Hi there only discovered your downloads lately and am blown away by the stuff you have, Blue Zoo, Leisure Process, Fiat Lux etc and to find this Sideway Look album is awesome, I haven't heard this in over 15 years! I don't suppose you have The Red Guitars - Tales Of The Expected hiding there somewhere? Anyway once again thanks, I'll be sure to keep seeding as well...

Thanks for the comments everyone. pafbrown, ahhh The Red Guitars....'National Avenue' is the best on the record. I have the record (somewhere), and will surely post it soon. cheers

Love March Violets!!!
Can you get the soundtrack to Fright Night?

Have no idea what I'm in for--but I love the goth sound of the 80's--so here goes! Thanks a bundle!

Sideway Look! Amazing! I went to school with some of the guys in that band, and haven't heard the album for about 20 years!

Thanks, love these packs
