The Angels - I Had a Dream I Lost You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBn8ZiMDhVY

unanthologized girl group gem from 1967

Plumtree - The Game's Over

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9BorH4UBt0

been listening to this nonstop for the past ≈8 years. probably the best band to come out of the '90s Halifax pop-rock scene

8 years / 3'45'' = 1,121,280 spins. I think you are good for the Guinness Book. ;-)

French act from 1984. Super smooth

For Sale by Twinkle - this is the b-side to her 1982 cover of I'm A Believer, the first new music she had released since 1975. The music was written by Simon Darlow, who seems to have been an associate of Trevor Horn and wrote songs for The Buggles, Dollar, Toyah and others. somewhere between Kirsty MacColl and Reputation era Dusty Springfield, or maybe something él Records

the single cover is neat as well

Daniel Lanois - Frozen

Japanese country reggae

I'm surprised The Smiths didn't appropriate that Twinkle photo for one of their sleeves. I listened to her Michael Hannah compilation a few years ago but wasn't too thrilled with it, title track aside. interesting backstory, though:

After dating Brian Jones, Paul and Barry Ryan, and Peter Noone, Twinkle settled with a male model, Michael Hannah. In 1969 she recorded a Motown-style song about him, "Micky", which was produced by Mike d'Abo, but their relationship was tempestuous, and she was admitted to hospital after attempting suicide.

In 1973, Hannah encouraged Twinkle to record new material; but he was killed in the Paris air disaster of 1974. The album, with the title Michael Hannah: The Lost Years, was eventually released in 2003 and told of their relationship. Twinkle married their mutual friend, Graham Rogers, a model who was better known as the Milk Tray Man.

Playgroup - Going Overdrawn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3F-l93vM3A

dub + calypso + Gypsy fiddle + Adrian Sherwood at the controls. this was also used as the backing track for Chantage's 'It's Only Money'. the two Playgroup albums are probably overdue for reevaluation in light of the recent African Head Charge and Missing Brazilians reissues.

I believe that I was Michael Hannah possibly in a past life ive had plenty of dreams to indicate him and would like to know more about him and any photos would be great ,and this is why I have a phobia of planes ,vertigo, and very introvert and shy because of what happened in my past life .I was told in my dreams I was a model in a past life who died in a plane crash and the country turkey is also relevant and the date of the crash is close to my d.o.b. Did Michael have any links to Bournemouth because I found my self moving there for a few years like my soul wanted to be there .The 981 plane looks very familiar and stirs up a lot of fear in my soul God bless to all the victims it was a terrible disaster

Jim Lawless - Lazing

wistful and slightly eerie instrumental from a compilation on British library music label Bruton Music. they had the most amazing record sleeves:

can't get this song out of my head. haunting, heartbreaking burned out folk.. the way he sings 'memories' reminds me of cobain in "come as you are".

sorry, i should probably label that: Robert Lester Folsom - "Please Don't Forget Me"

1982 version of "Alasdair Mac Colla" by Aneka (of "Japanese Boy" fame) complete with guitar soloing and Glitter Band/Adam & The Ants style drums
