Filmed in Walberswick near Southwold on the East Anglian coast. Now the gentrified and exclusive location of second homes for many in the entertainment industry, including Simon Mayo, it was a quaint old former fishing village in the 80s. And home for my summer jobs, including the year this video was filmed. The wooden framed house in the video is still there, close to the rowing boat ferry.

Loved this back in the day...

 

[Chutney]

The first Heaven 17 album didn't get the recognition it deserved:

Are you joking? Seems to have permanent residency in most Top X Albums Ever list I read.

"Inspired by no one
Other groups bore us
How can you say we sound like Frazier Chorus?"

I could probably do a whole other thread on references to acts in this thread in Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics...

Some people really stretching the "forgotten about" aspect, surprised someone hasn't posted Band Aid or something equally as popular.

Here's my contribution:-

You must read some good lists! Nothing on there even dented the top 30 and I bet the casual "Temptation" fan couldn't name a song on there though. Is "Geisha Boys & Temple Girls" the best 80s song intro ever?
