1982 With A Bullet : Worth Revisiting???
This was perhaps the second record I ever owned. I got a Ray Kernagan Lp for Xmas 1980 (heady times they were) and I used to frequently raid my parent's record collection (Cliff Richard, Gene Pitney, The New Seekers, Peter, Paul and Mary), looking for 'new sounds' but 1982 With A Bullet was the first album I had which I considered modern and ' with the times".Last seen on an online auction site (top bid one dollar so far), this EMI compilation has on it such classics as 'What About Me' by Moving Pictures and Pete Shelley's 'Homosapien'.
In the midst of many a drunken stupor I would often rave to a comrade how legendary this compilation was. Imagine my delight and horror when said comrade (by dubious means) obtained a CD copy of it on which he passed on to me so that I had the opportunity to relive those 'precious memories'. So the question is, is 1982 With A Bullet worth revisiting???

Great site thanks Brad. You know how much I love my music. :)
Dude - that was the second album i ever bought. First was "1981 over the top". I know its sad but i still love 80's gear.
I think I remember that one but I had some really good ones to. Do you remember Ripper, I even think I have a copy of Top of the Pop Vol 3 or 4 somewhere at home.
Nice one, Braddo. Kath reckons your film is better than the dorky one with her waving at the end of it. Well... I will be trying to get that one! So there, Sleepy!
I loved this tape, the only thing bad about it was having to play it on my cheap "TEMPEST" tape player when all my girlfriends had SONY baby-pink or white DOUBLE-tape mini boomboxes.
Cheap parental Xmas gifts suck arse.
