Totally agree with DM early albums---I love Music for the Masses. I saw that concert with OMD back in'88. DD's Rio is excellent as well.
Best 80s New Wave
I haven't seen too many posts on here regarding the '80s new wave/new romantic music scene. A lot of folks (including myself) have original vinyl copies of these artists, then bought the CD when they came out and are now buying the re-releases on 180g vinyl. What are some of your favorites?
My favs are:
1. Pet Shop Boys - (Please, Actually, Introspective, Behaviour and Very)--CD and vinyl
2. New Order - Low Life, is this on vinyl? Technique is great on vinyl
3. Depeche Mode - Violator
4. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
5. Propaganda - Secret Wish (Vinyl and CD)

Actually the preferred vehicle for these artists is actually the 12" single! The impact and sound quality of "Duel" in a clean 12" is visceral https://www.discogs.com/Propaganda-Duel/release/29009 And this is a demo disc of the first order https://www.discogs.com/a-ha-Crying-In-The-Rain/release/1255568 Most of these releases are dirt cheap and will wipe the floor with both the originals or any reissue |
Yep, got that one (haven’t listened to it in an age though so you reminded me to dig it out) -- plus all the New Order singles, a full run of Stone Roses and Ride, every 12" Madonna ever put out (through 2005 or so) etc -- guess you can tell how old I am! But in a slightly different vein, and on 10" and 12" -- these are both beautiful https://www.discogs.com/Virginia-Astley-A-Bao-A-Qu/release/1752426 https://www.discogs.com/Virginia-Astley-Tender/release/1236406 |
