Hi al! Decided to open another series where I'll be recreating compilations of "new wave" music released around the world during the 1980s (mostly early years). Discogs is a great resource and I had lots of fun browsing through the various artists compilations, then had a thought that I could recreate some of those using vinyl rips and CD sources. Of course there's little in a way of rarities for a serious fan but maybe for some it can be an interesting listen.
I've already posted my version of the compilation called "Machines" released on Virgin in 1980, so let's start with this one. I refreshed the tracklist a bit, including better-sounding files, so it should be a better one now - and a good one to kick off this thread.
Tracklist:
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark — Messages
Silicon Teens — Memphis Tennessee
Tubeway Army — Down in the Park
The Human League — Being Boiled
Thomas Leer — Private Plane
Dalek I — Dalek I Love You (Destiny)
