Wah! - The Story Of The Blues (1982)


First of all what a great cover.  This artwork here by Pete Wylie (who is/was Wah!) John McCarthy and Jock Huzzi.
A great single which was released in late 1982 reaching number 3 in the UK singles chart in early 1983.  One of those blissfull peices of 7" plastic that will live on forever.  Superb. Not so the video but it was the 80s and you had to be there!

Haircut 100 - Love Plus One (1982)

From The Lost Record Covers Club
The second single after "Favourite Shirts".  This boy pop band had a great future with Nick Heyward writing some really wonderful songs and the production by Bob Sargeant (The Beat).  Alas they only made one full album and then the band split with Heyward making one solo album of note.  Packaging to the fore as you can see.
