That’s amazing Paul! Another obscure 80s post. You know these are always my favourites because it is a unique opportunity to discover hidden gems. Without you this one would probably gone lost forever. This one as an exception is not new to me. I remember listening to Heaven Help The Man on local radio stations back in 1987. Thanks a million Paul and keep the obscure 80s posts coming 🙂
You are very welcome, Daniel I love doing the obscure ones 🙂
Andy Prye = Randy Pie?
Paul, I absolutely love anagrams and word games 😉
“Totally Obscure 80s” is right; here’s another obscure release that I never heard of!
But since you made the time and effort to rip and restore this record tells me maybe I should listen with an open mind, “‘The power of DJ PaulT compels me!”
(Besides, since I was living abroad when this record was released, it occurred to me that just maybe I might recognize the tune.)
Thanks again PaulT, for further educating my 80s musical palate.
Love the Exorcist nod 🙂 I like this record it’s pretty catchy 🙂 If we open our minds we can discover many hidden gems. Hope you like it.
wow, I really like this one, never heard of them.
Very cool Raymond 🙂
Hi Paul,
First thing, thank you again for yesterday’s post. It means so much to me whenever you showcase a record by an artist I deeply care about.
Anxious to check out this new posting of yours. Love the name of the artist because it made me laugh out loud. I almost thought it was a remake of the song, “I’m Free (Heaven Help The Man” by Kenny Loggins. He’s been on my mind lately. Either way, very enthused to hear some new music.
Jeff
I know you will like this one jeff even if the name of the band is a strange one. 🙂
