Used to get all those back in the 80s, mostly US pressings, Big Beat is British though I think? Have to track down this one, as the AFD Pebbles series quality was a bit shite if memory serves me wellQuote:

Also, Flock Of Seaguls and Heaven 17 (Penthouse & Pavement is a great album). Oh, and not forgetting ABC (the first album is soooooo good and also Alphabet City). :thumbsup:Quote:

I notice the ones you've listed are singles from bands rather than the bands themselves; another difficult choice would be to pick my top ten singles from that era.............. REALLY DIFFICULT!!! Suffice to say Ultravox - Vienna would be in there!!!Quote:

Decided to go with Macca's choice, though my copy's sleeve is in better shape than Mart's, which looks like it's been butchered to fit in a biscuit tin :)

Edit: this looks to be cropped a bit too, what's that all about?
I think 'Vienna' by Ultravox would in most people's top 10 of singles. It was just a shame the album which features it is a bit 'meh'.Quote:

Not mine. Hated it at the time and still do. It's a dirge!Quote:
