It's a shame you don't live in the UK. We have a brilliant new TV series just started (a spin off from a similar, unique, earlier creative "called Life on Mars"). The new series is called "Ashes to Ashes" and features a police Psychologist who, after a shooting, is in a coma but an active part of her brain transports her to believe she has taken the role of a senior police officer in a 1980's London Metropolitan police force. The programme has some fun plots but the great element is it is liberally sprinkled with 1980's iconography, music & reference.

Shame you can't get it really

I wouldn't have been able to watch it in the 80's; that we can agree upon :

According to the authoritarian rulings in the Communist state of Scandinavia you should be banned access to such privileged sites

Dictatorial rulings must be the word you were looking for

Originally coming from Birmingham and being of the appropriate age I well remember making a fool of myself at many a nightclub to "Kiss Me". New to alcohol and such a catchy tune was a fatal combination.
Although it is very very different, has anyone tried his more recent 'folksier' stuff (i.e. Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time).
Cheers,

I have the 7" single from February 1985, two different 12" singles (4 versions of the song) - one from February and one from March 1985.

And on my hard drive I have a whopping fifteen (15 ) versions of the song

Great song, solaris, but FIFTEEN versions??

Yeah, I know it seems kind of excessive, especially when you compare it to for instance "Trapped" by Colonel Abrams, which I only have in 12 versions
