nlgbbbblth CD 12.18: Don't Make It Work. Our Failed Pop 1980 - 1987 (1 Viewer)

[EGE YURTUM]

CANVAS OF LIFE by Minor Detail is a truly horrible song... got heavy rotation on Radio Nova at the time... and one of those bastards discovered the Corrs...

... digging further into the past, this is a gem of Irish pop...

Which version of the Self Aid LP do you have? The double vinyl (with all the acts) is difficult to find as it was Irish-only. I have a US pressing which has 12 or 13 tracks.

the double vinyl.

John Creedon played My Friend John earlier! He either reads Thumped or one of you pricks requested it....
Sounded ace playing on the radio anyhow.

From Wexford. Maybe not the most popular around these parts but hard to deny that this is a great song.

yeah - A House are the second wave which probably spans 1988 to 1994 [three football tournaments].

I have lots of stuff from that era but it's more familiar / common and therefore harder to create a "fresh" sounding comp.

I bought the first Cry Before Dawn album at the time. They were massive in Wexford.
