Random/ 7"

The other night I re-alphabetized my box of old 7" singles. It represents the years 1979 to 1985, which is when I was living in the UK. There are some killer tunes in there - classics of the early '80s. As a sort of recurring feature on SIART I have decided to occasionally close my eyes, wave my hands over the box and pull something out to post here - both the A and B sides. Truly random. On to the festivities - today's mystery pick is...

Pete Shelley - Telephone Operator (A-side)
Pete Shelley - Many A Time (B-side)
A delightfully synthtastic 1983 release from the Buzzcocks frontman's solo period, produced by the legendary Martin Rushent.

odd coincidence, I just listened to "I Love You Big Dummy" a minute ago, then read this post. ; )

Superb! Barry Adamson playing bass on this if I remember correctly? I believe DJ Talbot has validated my ticket wi' his Magazine connection..
