Nice to see this thread resuscitated.

I've still got that album. A unique cover.

I think I read a while back that Mark Hollis retired circa 15 years ago, he actually meant it and has stuck to his guns. Very unsual when all and sundry have made comebacks.

I adored Clare Grogan.

The first new wave band to move to electronic dance. Someone told me recently that the legendary Georgio Moroder admitted that New Order influenced his future work. Until then, he was thought of as the godfather of electronic dance music.

His autobio's an interesting read. An eventful life in more ways than one, and he does cover the Worthing part.

Good shout. I didn't mention that as I remember buying the 12" from Rounder Records in the summer of 1984. Still listen to that alot, spurred on by just reading his interesting autobio.

I saw bits, but will catch up fully on iplayer. In 1983, I loved playing this 12":

I saw The Smiths gig around that time at Brighton Poly promoting that album. An unforgettable night. A brilliant time for music for me as I loved synth pop, indie and dance music.
