This is where you decide by a picture if a song is good or not. This one is absolutely brilliant and basically unknown. You are doing yourself a favor giving it an ear. It has my 80s rarity seal of approval.

This group was a big big hit in the Philippians, and often topped their New Wave charts. Not so much elsewhere, but I loved their sound too.

Thanks Dfwgator, I had never heard of them, reminded me of The Skids (punk late 70s early 80s). Good fun and something new which I am always on the lookout for. You seem to have quite a few surprises. Thanks again...

I wanted to post a couple of Skids songs here, but seems I must have it on the other computer at the moment in the shop.

This was another great Polish band from the 80s called "Republika". The lyrics were pretty daring considering Poland was still in the throes of Martial Law at the time. I became really obsessed with the music from that era, and was really surprised how much good music was made behind the Iron Curtain.

Waitresses, the singer was a big smoker I understand and left this world well before her time.

Miguel Bose put this song out in the 1980s, I believe his style calls to mind very much the New Wave of the day...though in Spanish..

Righeira, Italian group put out "Vamos A La Playa", I've got to think many of us have heard it before, with that catchy refrain.... party music....

Thanks Tom, sorry about the delay, got a kid that is sick tonight and he doesn't get sick often so had me worried. I knew The Waitresses due to one song I had (Christmas gift or something like that). I didn't realize just how pretty a lady she was and that she died at 40 (after working for ABC news in a desk job and a record company). Never married and it was just sorta sad. Going to look at your later post/songs, keep em coming.

P.S. Never heard of Miguel Bose, yes, definitely a New Wave sound. I liked it. Thanks

P.S.S. That Italian Disco song rocked, looked around and it had a few mixes too including a Ultra Traxx mix. Sweet.
