my fall back into the 80s continues...

  • a broken frame - depeche mode

  • fame - fun boy three

  • sleeps with fishes - pieter nooten & michael brook

  • the collection - terry hall


tower had a bunch of things on sale, so i managed to get all this at a cheap price. while i was there they were playing speak and spell by depeche mode. i tried to buy it but was told it was a personal copy of one of the clerks(it did have a price tag on it though). i've wanted the first 2 or 3 depeche mode albums for awhile, but most shops don't carry the older releases. of course i have them on vinyl, but that does me no good when they are sitting at my parents back in the states.

back when i had big hair, it was because i wanted to be terry hall not robert smith. sadly, the first colourfield album(virgins and philistines) has never been re-issued on cd. one of the few places to find songs from that album is on this terry hall collection. there are even a few post-colourfield songs on here which i have not heard and so i'm naturally curious about.

i originally went to tower in search of laibach, as the last time i was there they had this small subrosa section. i'd forgotten about that, until cindy mentioned picking up some laibach there. that section was gone tonight though, and no laibach was in sight.
