Wow! Thank you Paul for another great obscure 80s post. Love it! Thanks also to “Love” for the great news about Small Talk’s unreleased album finally being available. I already ordered my CD copy on bandcamp 🙂

Well timed to coincide with their unreleased album finally getting a release on bandcamp a few weeks ago, https://pbhmedia.bandcamp.com/album/comeback.

Though missing from that release is the instrumental version of give me my heart back, so a big thank you from me for that 🙂
