Forgotten 80's Vol 44: Huang Chung

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/0d/c1/forgotten80s/3000x3000_1038153.jpg] Why this group didn't hit it big in the 80's with this LP, "Phonongenic", I'll never know. The track "Man Overboard" should've been a huge hit, but basically no one ever heard it. Their record company failed to promote them properly, and they fell through the cracks. Band member Jimmy Lee Sloas went on to become a sought after studio bassist/producers, and worked with many artists in the country/rock/ and Christian industries, even forming his own band and releasing a CD. (Dogs Of Peace) The tracks featured are: 01- Man Overboard 02- Piece Of Glass 03- The Curtain's Gonna Fall 04- Head In The Sand Lead singer: http://www.robertwhitejohnson.com Guitarist: http://www.moregendel.com

These songs were taken from a "live" performance during the band's peak. The songs are: 01- Heaven 02- I Got The Message 03- Editions Of You 04- Safety Dance

Forgotten 80's Vol 44: Huang Chung

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/0d/c1/forgotten80s/3000x3000_726684.jpg] Wang Chung's first album was recorded under the name "Huang Chung". They changed the spelling on subsequent albums. Their first album is hard to find on cd, but it's worth it if you can grab it. Some nice forgotten gems from the 80's. The songs included are: 01- China 02- Chinese Girls 03- Hold Back The Tears 04- Dancing

Forgotten 80's Vol 43- Randy Bishop & The Underdogs

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/0d/c1/forgotten80s/3000x3000_653454.jpg] A truly FORGOTTEN powerpop/rock gem from the 80's. I can't even find what this guy's up to now. It's such a common name, searching the net is fruitless! If you have any idea what he's up to now, send me an e-mail. This is a transfer from vinyl, not available on CD. The songs on this podcast are: 01- Two Hearts On The Loose 02- Underdog 03- If I Was A Fool

Forgotten 80's Volume 42- Before They Were The Cars..

itunes pic [https://assets.podomatic.net/ts/ce/0d/c1/forgotten80s/3000x3000_653455.jpg] Before they were the Cars, they were called Cap''n Swing. I've unearthed a few demos they recorded under that name. I'm just guessing at the titles! You can hear the beginnings of that signature Cars sound in these recordings. 01- Strawberry Moonlight 02- Come Back Down 03- Goes On Sleeping 04- Twilight Superman http://www.thenewcars.com
