Shiny Two Shiny - Waiting For Us (Long Version) 12" (1983)

This single was taken from their mini LP entitled ‘Halfway Across The Rainbow’.
A mixture of bright and breezy synth pop with some darker undercurrents. I personally love this song.

Bluetrain - Some Greater Love 5"

I will try to post some of my cd collection in between before I run out of 12" to post. hehehe. I want to start with the band from Surrey, England. Formed from the ashes of Go! Service in 1986. One of their songs, "Land of Gold", was included in the 1999 Vinyl Japan compilation called 'Our Floating Images Youth. Obviously, that's when I first heard them and since then I was on the look out for this hard to find record. I'm still searching for it though.:( I know somebody who owns this gem, right Cino? Anyway, This compilation was released by Plastina Records in 2008 and now out of print. Literally, got the last copy from their shelf last year. A total of 12 tracks and includes songs from their Go! Service days. I don't usually share full length albums but I will make an exception this time. Enjoy!
