@Chief I reckon we're about the same age (48) Were you into that Electro scene that ran alongside early 80's hip hop ? Roland 808 was the instrument that linked it all together.
Just had all the bomb the bass stuff and that on, later 80's. So yes, although I'm older than you pal. NWA, into De Le Soul and Cookie Crew now! Bliss. Good Times. This, by the way, I was going to my first Glastonbury to watch Pixies with SLF and De la Soul on the way down in the car. And getting into The Proclaimers while I was there.
I remember this (was a male stripper at a go go bar) , was at 6th form at the time. Sigue Sigue Sputnik were bringing stuff out same time. ****e but good.
There was all the stuff about them being manufactured and not playing their own instruments etc. at the time. ****ing hell, fast forward to now when we're blanket bombed by utter ****e, they were brilliant by comparison. ( and it was good!)
Ha yeah man do it My 08 Touareg still has a CD player in it. So that 'state of the art' 6 CD changer is currently stacked with the following: Tribe Called Quest : Low end Theory Kate Bush : Hounds of Love Michael Jackson : Off the Wall Goldie: Metalheadz Portishead : Dummy Herbie Hancock : Headhunters
I used to go to a Roller Disco when I was 11, in my first year of secondary school and they used to play this. I was trying to impress a girl called Leanne Bishop, who was 3 years older than me ( a bid deal ) by skating with the 15/16 year old lads and one of them knocked me over and then ran over my fingers to this tune
Wasn't it about 86? You can't have been 11 if you're 48 now? Anyway, **** it, those were great times. In that year by the way, me and my mates (still are, always will be) went on our first holiday abroad. BAD were a go to tape at that time. Was a backdrop to the whole two weeks. So were Wham! and The Smiths of course.
I dunno, maybe it was my second year... I was 11 in 1985 when I started secondary school But like you say, great times. BAD is a gem of an album. I think that was 87 ? I got some heat for it the last time I mentioned it on here but that bass line on Club Tropicana is a fukin classic
