LIST 160 - 12/06/15 (1985 special, part one)
Hello again,
Inevitable at some point, I suppose, that I'd get round to compiling some 10, 20 and 30 years ago, etc. Lists for 2015, if only for the gasps of incredulity that they inspire when uploaded. "Was that really 30 years ago?!? I feel old..." - you know, that sort of thing.
So, get ready to feel old all over again!
I avoided the temptation to fill the first of these 1985 Lists with nothing else other than the sort of stuff that would eventually grace the C86 compilation, though tracks from the respective first ever singles by C86ers The Shop Assistants, The Wedding Present and Primal Scream are indeed included.
A less obvious debut, perhaps, but a very timely one to include given the recent reactivation of rural psychedelia figureheads Flying Saucer Attack, is a single by a four-piece by the name of Ha Ha Ha who could count among their number FSA frontman Dave Pearce - at least until, by his own account, he did a Syd Barrett and got himself sacked. Ha Ha Ha's loss, our gain, etc.
J xx
