In the 80s, synth-pop bands were all over the airwaves. MTV played a lot of their videos in heavy rotation, and pop, modern rock, and Top 40 radio stations played them frequently, as well. In today's really good deal, you'll get a FOUR piece bundle of 80s synth-pop bands, and their 12" remix maxi-singles!


First up is Book of Love, a techno synth-pop band out of Philly that formed over FORTY years ago, in 1983. It's the same four members now as it was in the beginning! (Ted Ottaviano, Susan Ottaviano (oddly, no relation to Ted), Jade Lee, and Lauren Roselli Johnson. Same four, all along! How many bands can say that? Book of Love is represented here with the 12" of their song "Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls", and three mixes of that great track! There's also "Tubular Bells", their version of the Mike Oldfield classic, which is also mixed in the side two house version of "Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls", called 'Regan's House Medley', and keeping with the theme from the movie 'The Exorcist'. And the side two version is almost FOURTEEN and a half minutes long! The vinyl looks great, and is shiny and clean. Jacket has light shelf-wear on it, but nothing too bad. Looking really good for something from 1988!


A little over FORTY years ago, in 1983, a one hit wonder band named Real Life had a massive hit record with the track "Send Me an Angel". In 1989, they remade it, and released it again, calling it "Send Me an Angel '89". Real Life is here today with the 12" of the 1989 version, with THREE versions of that classic 80s track, including the extended dance mix, and house mix (plus the edit version), and an extra track ("Always"). Vinyl looking nearly flawless, and is also shiny and clean! Jacket looks really good, but with some shelf-wear, mainly on the corners and spine. Bottom left corner slightly smashed in. Looking great for something that's THIRTY FIVE years old!


Next up is an Australian band called Icehouse, and their song "No Promises". This one got more play in clubs, as opposed to the radio. MTV had a video for "No Promises" that got played on the strength of Icehouse's other songs. They are here with the 12" of that awesome 80s track, and three versions: the extended club mix (almost NINE minutes long!), and dub and instrumental versions. Vinyl looking great, all clean and shiny, and jacket doesn't look too bad, either. There's some shelf-wear on it, some light silver writing, and a gold promo stamp. This is the original jacket, with hype sticker.


Last, we have a German techno synth-pop band called Camouflage. These guys had a hit with a song called "The Great Commandment" in 1987. There was a couple of other songs that were club hits for those guys, but "The Great Commandment" actually charted here in the US, on the Billboard Hot 100. Camouflage is represented here today with the 12" of "The Great Commandment ", with the extended radio mix and the extended dance ix of that 80s classic, plus and extra track ("Pompeji"). The vinyl for this one, also, looks fantastic and is shiny and clean! Jacket looking really, really good, with only some very light shelf-wear on it, mostly on the spine. Top right corner folded in a bit. Not bad at all for something that's over THIRTY FIVE years old!
