Thanks William and well done Crystal. Is that the first time we’ve ever picked the same song? 😀

Thanks William 🙂

52nd Street were once mistaken for Talk Talk on TOTP #forgotten80s

Well done @jaydoubleyou1969.bsky.social #forgotten80s

Better than the re-recording of Remembrance Day anyway.

Re-recording (even though the proper one is now on Spotify) but still good to hear. Great first choice 🙂

Glad someone else noticed! Yeah it was the demo version with the Captain on vocals instead of Dave.

Best song I heard tonight.

Thanks William 🙂

Thanks William and well done to @pompeygeorge.bsky.social too 🙂

Thanks William and happy birthday to Neil too 🙂

Nobody told us that though.

It’s OK, he forgot me this time too 😄

So can we have songs that never made the Top 75 when there was no official Top 100 now then? #forgotten80s

Thanks William 🙂

Great to hear “She Comes From The Rain” by the Weather Prophets. One of my favourite singles of 1987 🙂 #forgotten80s

Oh, not playlisted by Piccadilly? Strange. Maybe it was just certain DJs who played it.

Piccadilly in Manchester played it a lot as you’d expect. Great song.

Thanks William 🙂
