I always thought that they looked like Lambeth Council's Gender Equality Unit indulging in a bizarre attempt to look glam.
They were good pop music in the same way that Sainsburys is a good supermarket.

I picked up a reissue of Deep Sea Skiving in Paris. I'm not sure what to think of it. They didn't really "do" tunes at that stage, did they?

You don't think so? That's their best studio album!

I'm not saying it's bad!

I think I'm just surprised by it because my knowledge of their early stuff was basically limited to "Venus" and the Fun Boy 3 collab-o.

have you heard the other 1986 stuff? "A Trick of the Night" is something special. One of these days I have to write something about this.

I remember this as well. Especially Heiney's earlier practice video with a typical lol80's pop/rock band, of which all I can remember is that the lyrics mentioned "burning" or "I'm on fire" or something, and Heiney cut to a red spotlight. His mentor later appraised the finished video with the words "er, that's... interesting" clearly meaning "er, that's shit..."

WTF at the comments!
ChrisD58 7h agoIt must be my age but personally I think they're better looking now than back then!!Andrew Jones ChrisD58 6h agoWhilst they do look damn good for their age (unlike me) I have to disagree. 80's Keren Woodward was a living goddess. Back then I would have slaughtered my entire family in return for a few hours in her company. Nowadays I'd only slaughter my sister in law.
