It appears to be a collection of vintage rock songs, Charlie Brown, Rock Around the Clock, etc. But its on an obscure label called Ahed, so I think it might contain cheaper-to-license re-recordings. It also has this: http://youtu.be/PO7-jN9mLso and God help me, this: http://youtu.be/IvQV8Do9XgQ. The record is so filthy and scratched up I don't want to put it on record player.<br /><br />There are definitely a few gems in that collection. The one I didn't show because I was listening to it was Vienna by Ultravox.<br /><br />As for Roxy, they were post-punk, but somehow pre-punk at the same time. And a huge influence on many punk bands and NW/synthpop bands.<br /><br />Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-48133985603974002952013-07-08T14:31:57.041-07:002013-07-08T14:31:57.041-07:00Yeah, that could've been a lot worse.

Would that I could've liked stuff that cool at that age. <br /><br />And...say what you will about Visage, but there's no denying that "Fade to Grey" is a genre-defining classic. NO DENYING!, I say.GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-37397104477106113182013-07-08T12:15:27.916-07:002013-07-08T12:15:27.916-07:00Fun little video.

Keep it up!<br /><br />(also: what's the deal with Brian Ferry/Roxy Music? Everyone holds them in such high regard, and I just don't get it. Is it just because I'm a strictly post-punk-person, or am I missing something?)Zaygne Torkmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056739527658217429noreply@blogger.com
