It's hard to believe that it's now over 30 years since the heyday of this great band from the mid-eighties period (along with other superb bands such as The Prisoners, The Moment, The Direct Hits, The Jetset etc.).
Almost all of their recordings have been released and are still available on two CD compilations via Big Beat, whilst a 'live' set from 1984 was given a CD release by Detour Records.
I don't know about you, but they are still part of my regular listening experience!
