The Cure’s ‘Let’s Go To Bed’ and The Associates ‘Party Fears Two’ lead into a trio of German synth-pop gems from Propaganda, Peter Schilling and Alphaville. Early chart successes for Simple Minds and Talk Talk follow alongside New Wave crossovers from Devo and Our Daughter’s Wedding. More international classics follow from Men Without Hats with ‘The Safety Dance’, Yello with ‘Bostich’ and Telex with ‘Moskow Diskow’ – the opener from their 1979 album ‘Looking For St Tropez’. Disc Two closes with Phil Lynott’s instantly recognisable ‘Yellow Pearl’ which served as the theme tune to “Top of the Pops” in the early 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eCD3 explodes into life with New Order’s classic ‘Blue Monday’, before making way for Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s #1 smash ‘Relax’.

Norwegian trio a-ha saw ‘Take On Me’ become one of the decades’ signature songs, whilst the 1979 #1 ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ from The Buggles became the first video shown on MTV in the US (and the final video shown on MTV in the UK)…staying in 1979, Gary Numan hit #1 with the iconic ‘Cars’ and Sparks released their collaboration with producer Giorgio Moroder that included the Top 10 ‘Beat The Clock’. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark’s debut single ‘Electricity’ is up next along with second appearances from Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and Tears For Fears. Kim Wilde debuted with the pure-pop gold of ‘Kids In America’, and leads to a stellar run of synth-pop to close the collection – from Altered Images, Visage, Soft Cell with ‘Torch’, The Cure with ‘The Walk’ – and finishing with the elegant and haunting ‘Ghosts’ from Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eNOW That’s What I Call An Era: (\u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"marknq7yzjl2p\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"markafx8qxi38\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eFeel\u003c\/span\u003es\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"markh1laj0aar\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eLike\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"marko85bxzl17\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eHeaven\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1978-1985 – an unforgettable journey through some of the greatest tracks from the most influential artists - Celebrating one of the most groundbreaking \u0026amp; innovative era’s in pop music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eCD1:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
