Never really thought of fade out songs like that, but I think you're right! Easier to pen "repeat to fade" than wrapping it up tight and sharp.

Love this. I'd totally disengaged from the pop charts by 1984 as was on a 60's and neo-mod/medway journey of discovery but I heard this on TV at the time and had to buy it.

Thank you. I do love Japan. Think I must have all their singles including quite a few imports, but I really like the earlier stuff.

The secondary school had improved a lot at that time, so we were all set and had a place reserved but had a very narrow window in which to sell and buy, and we hardly got a sniff of a buyer. Maybe we'll look again at retirement!

We nearly moved to St Leonard's a few years back but unfortunately it didn't work out (had to tie in with a schools move). Still love it down there. Seems to be loads of cool stuff going on all the time.

Superb. Bought it when it came out. Still got it. I love it all to be honest.

I used to have that one and I'm fairly certain it was from Smash Hits.

Finally made it to #arcadeclub in Bury and it was brilliant. Knackered after standing up for 3 hours but an amazing selection of games of all types (I was there for the old school). Pretty much all my faves and some amazing rarities that I'm not sure I've played in the flesh before. #retrogaming

Yes, it's incredible, as is the whole album. Need to check out more from the label. I was very late discovering this, it would have blown my mind in 1986 as a neo mod/Soul/60's obsessed teen!
