Thanks for shining a light on this lost gem!!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound 🙂
Thanks Paul, this is a great one! Until today I knew Andreas Martin only as a (successful) german ‘Schlagersänger’, but man… how good can he actually sing?! Wow. Great pick, much appreciated! 🙂
My pleasure, Tom 🙂
I’m loving all these rare German singles … yet another reason why your site is so awesome. Instead of regurgitating all the basic stuff you can find anywhere, this site features super rare records from the 80s!
Thank you I love the obscure stuff too 🙂
Thank you for the Motive…Keep an eye out for 1985 Singles & possibly 12″ Singles….When Band Aid did their Single…Nearly every Western European Country released their Various Artists Charity Single for Africa Famine relief…If you see any please post them
Thanks Paul for this new 80s obscure post. Without you these records would stay unknown. For the rest I second Jeff’s comment.
You’re welcome, Daniel 🙂
I love these power ballads, Paul. Thanks so much!
So sad to hear of Steve Bronski’s passing. He will be missed, but his music lives on.
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
