If you're looking for advice on Belinda Carlisle - look no further, I happen to know a guy ;) who has EVERY single and album she released (except for this latest French one she has done). In various formats 7", cds, 12", cassette single, picture disc and all those cd singles that were marked as cdx..... denoting that it was a fancy package type thing with postcards, posters etc etc.

Who is this guy, oh that'll be me then....... :wave:


Apart from that, the 80's was a classic decade for music, just a few -

Animotion - Obsession
Belouis Some - Imagination
Anything from Tears For Fears
Duran Duran - Planet Earth
Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Level 42 - Something About You
Kim Wilde - Kids In America
Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield
Haysi Fantayzee - John Wayne Is Big Leggy

....the list could go on and on and on and...
