<pre>Four records you guys requested. More to come. Leave a note if you want a record posted here. Now what do we have here? *Hazel O'Connor - Cover Plus [1981] Cover Plus displays marked improvement in songwriting skills over Hazel O'Connor's two previous albums, Breaking Glass and Sons and Lovers. Whereas previously her lyrics often consisted of social commentary which was frequently marred by sloganeering and cliches, O'Connor here began to write from personal experience, with greatly improved results. Although still basic rock in nature, the textures of the music are more complex than on earlier releases. Shortly after this album's release legal problems with her record company would temporarily derail O'Connor's career, and she didn't emerge again until three years later with the now deleted Smile album,. Cover Plus remains the most satisfying recording of O'Connor's new wave years. *Miracle Legion - Surprise Surprise Surprise [1987] A great indie/jangle pop album. I find myself skipping a few tracks here and there, and some of the songs are a bit too similar, but I generally like the band's over all sound on this album. The harmonica parts really add a lot to some of the songs too. Mark Mulcahy's voice is tinged with nostalgia and the lyrics are pleasently matter-of-factly yet still somewhat cryptic. If you're looking for some late 80s jangle pop, give this album a listen. *Pink Military - Do Animals Believe In God [1980] On this record I was kind of surprised to notice Jayne Casey the vocalist tends to be rather harsh and the other projects I've heard from her seem to be closer to synth-punk than this is. The real surprise was the actual songs themselves, most seem well though-out and well played and produced. It's actually rather subdued and minimal most of the time also which lends itself nicely to the abilities of the musicians here. "Did You See Her", "Degenerated Man" and "Do Animals Believe In God" were my favorites, but most of this was a hit rather than a miss. The album sounds sort of magical with the way the keyboards are used in places and the post-punky drums which turn up ever so often are quite welcome as it does add a bit of an edge. *Scars - Author! Author! [1981] The Scars were a top notch band, it's a shame that they never even had the modest success that a lot of similar bands enjoyed. This is one of those rare 'lost classics' that actually live up to the hype, a highly recommended release for fans of bands like the Comsat Angels or Josef K. "Leave Me In The Autumn" is a perfect song to start with. The single "All About You" has a sweet and summery feel to it. Only after listening to the lyric a bit do you realise that it's about rejection, and may even be written from the point of view of a stalker. </pre>

cool stuff, thanks for the uploads! do you have the album by Device, with Holly Knight?
2009-01-09 09:00 CET by 80zforever (thepiratebay.org)
crimsonidol69, yes I do have it. It's the 1986 CD titled "22B3". I am sure this one is on my HD so I will try to put it in one of the 4 rare series, hopefully this weekend. cheers
2009-01-09 13:26 CET by Brewmaster1 (thepiratebay.org)
Great! Thank you so much, I've looked hard for the Scars album. I also found Cuddly Toys' "Guillotine Theatre" in part 33, I had overlooked that one. Thanks! Any chance that you have Tik & Tok "Intolerance"?
2009-01-09 13:39 CET by azteccamera (thepiratebay.org)

2009-01-09 15:07 CET by tkm0718 (thepiratebay.org)
Thanks 80zforever!!! Cool selections, as usual. Any chance you have the song "Runaway (Dun Difrunt)" by Freur? There seems to be a rare b-sides collection kicking around, but I can't track it down. I'd appreciate any help finding that mix!!! Happy New Year!
2009-01-09 15:29 CET by no54a2 (thepiratebay.org)

Great stuff! Keep the 80's alive. Do you have album "Tomcat Prowl" by Doug & The Slugs?
2009-01-09 21:39 CET by erikphnx (thepiratebay.org)
I never outgrew the 80s music so please allow me to say thank you for your help allowing me to discover the music I missed the first time around. I second that request for the Device album. I had it on cassette and remember liking it a lot. Does anyone remember these albums ? Wild Blue " No More Jinx" with the single Fire with Fire ? Another lost album I am trying to find is New Man with the singles Bad Boys and Flying Cowboy. thanks again for your awesome torrents
2009-01-09 21:59 CET by fanciz (thepiratebay.org)
Thanx a lot for the Miracle Legion and Pink Military albums. Scars is also interesting, I got it a few years ago and it was reissued in 2007. I've never heard of Hazel O'Connor but I will give it a listen tomorrow. Keep on the good work, we really appreciate your kindness!
2009-01-10 09:55 CET by mikeyten (thepiratebay.org)

2009-01-10 13:10 CET by palyniam (thepiratebay.org)
eh up... any chance you have an album by "keep it dark" called "1st down and ten" from around 1985/86. Ta Paul
2009-01-11 04:55 CET by MoskwaTV (thepiratebay.org)
Thanks for posting my request. I use to have this on L.P. but it was stolen. I think the thieves were interest in using my 80s album collection to make that scratching sound they have in their rap songs. One time I was driving in my car listening to the radio and I heard, ? Yo G, I ran so far away, I, I, I, I just ran, couldn?t get away from you playa? I know it was my record because it use to skip right at the ?I? part. Even though the thieves (Rappers) made bank off my L.P. collection, I don?t think they knew how difficult it was for me to replace those albums.
2009-01-14 23:41 CET by 12xu (thepiratebay.org)
OMG, I am really hoping that this must be "The" Scars - as in Adultery on Fast Records in the late 70's - fantastic upload again.
2009-01-15 00:20 CET by 80zforever (thepiratebay.org)
12xu, you got it right. It's the same Scars with the line up of Robert King (vocals), Paul Research (guitar), John Mackie (bass), Calumn Mackay (drums, 1977-80), Steve McLaughlin (drums, 1980-82). Great record indeed.
2009-01-15 00:55 CET by 12xu (thepiratebay.org)
Fantastic, I loved that single - and most other stuff that came out of the Fast stable at the time (Bob Last was behind it all if I remember) but The Scars and The Mekons were up there with the best. Can't wait to hear this batch thanks :)
2009-01-24 07:16 CET by Aidan13 (thepiratebay.org)
Scars is great...so glad I am able to get these collections! Best musci ever! (..)
2009-02-01 00:44 CET by Motifman (thepiratebay.org)
Hazel O'connor brings back some memories, thanks 80zforever...your the best for 80s thats for sure. Do you have any albums by Gina X Performance or Peter Baumann's album Strangers In The Night ?
2009-03-17 08:21 CET by speakhands (thepiratebay.org)
Thanks again 80z. I've been hunting for an album by Red 7. If I recall correctly the first track was called Relentless. If you might have it and could work in to a future upload, I'd be very grateful.
2009-03-24 00:16 CET by 80zforever (thepiratebay.org)
Hi speakhands, I do have that record. Actually the album is called Relentless which is also the opening track. But except for 2 songs, the record is not a strong one (I guess that's why their label dropped them?). send me an e-mail and i'll get it to you as I don't think I'll post it. my e-mail danieldking at gmail .com
