In which case change "bring" to "take" and it would read like that. As it reads now its like you're in the middle of a long queue.

I already have mine :p
its great
yeh but I'm not getting one coz i came online too late (can i have a copy of yours chay coz i love 80s music)
Posted by
chandler, 17:46, 1st June 2003:
yes you can share my copy :)
Vic's Legendary 80's CD Disclaimers.
As has been mockingly pointed out to me, The CD is not technically an 80's CD, being as it contains a song released in 1970 and another released in 1991. My response to anyone who has an issue with this is 'Bollocks to you'
Simlarly, the album is not truely 'Legendary' as it has some important works missing, For example:
The version of Nena's 99 Red Balloons is the english version rather than the far superior german version
The CD does not contain 'A land down under' no 80's album can be legendary without this on the playlist.
Unauthorised copying, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting are perfectly acceptable with this CD. I don't give a fuck what you do with it.
As of Sunday 01/6/03 1800 hrs i have only got five of the CD's burned, best guess at getting them posted will be tuesday.
Thank you for your time.
aww no 'A land down under', that's ok I have that on about 5 best of the 80s cds :D
Ready to post!
Nov, i haven't got your address, send me one.
They shipped this morning, stand by your mailboxes.

I can confirm that any CD which contains John Farnham, The Vapors, and Men Without Hats is truly legendary.

Posted by

Yup. I'm thinking of doing an 80's CD myself. Or some other themed comps. I have some ideas already.

"Wow, some of these songs you just have to stop, and listen, wow, all the memeories and emotions just overflow"
"genius"

Posted by
chandler, 15:18, 5th June 2003:

I saw Go West play at a pub in leicester a few months back. Didn't have to pay to get in and the place was empty.
The fuckers mimed too. To a (very) bad quality backing tape.

Rosie, 15:53, 5th June 2003:
I haven't listened to my cd yet! i can't wait to hear number 3!! I've not heard it before for real - although my nana used to sing it to me!!!
:)
Posted by
chandler, 15:57, 5th June 2003:
oooh track three is WONDERFUL
and obviously very suitable for you rosie
its great :)
Im looking forward to hearing number 16. NOT!
Posted by
Rosie, 16:00, 5th June 2003:
:D
My nana used to sing it to me! I've never heard it before!.
I can't wait to get home and listen to it!....
Posted by
Rosie, 16:01, 5th June 2003:
FL: I love that one! Its great!
* we built this city on rock and roll* said in an Alan Partridge style voice.
why, out of all those songs do you have a problem with starship foggy?
Posted by
beargod, 16:46, 5th June 2003:
I love starship
Im just not a big fan of that song..everything else is cool, just that one song.
Try getting really really drunk, going home with some mates for more drinking and putting it on and singing to it loud. its sure to change your mind.
17: The Vapors, Turning Japanese - an absolute classic!!
I think I'm gonna have to do a CD too :D
Posted by
chandler, 19:44, 5th June 2003:
yay
I'll say it again. That CD rocks. It's just "Echo Beach" short of a classic.
Anyway, I may have to eventually jump this bandwagon. I may do a "best of Seal CD". So... for your
blank CD, give me your address ;)
Echo beach was in the running, but i dropped it from the final list.
:(
Oh well. At least "Kids In America" made it in.

Rosie, 09:59, 6th June 2003:
I played my cd when I was clearing up the kitchen. I was dancing around when I was doing the washing up! It is definately a cool cd!!

vic: a clarification on tracks. you said:
9: Black Box, Ride on time (1991, see above)
10: Matthew Wilder, Break my stride
11: Toto Coelo, I eat cannibals
on my cd there are 21 tracks. 9 is black box. 12 is toto coelo. can you tell me what tracks 10 and 11 are?
Posted by
beargod, 11:53, 18th July 2003:
Vic, my g/f said she really really likes this album and has become super popular at her work, because of it and thank you
Posted by
chandler, 11:54, 18th July 2003:
yeah good point cal, i named my tracks using the original list only to find that at 9 10 11 it goes wrong and so then each song is named after the next one.
one of 10 or 11 is break my stride
its the other one that was missed out whhich messed up my track listing
err, whoops.
not really, i have a slightly different version with added tracks. i don't suppose you could hum me a few bars?
Posted by
chandler, 12:01, 18th July 2003:
"with added tracks"
why didnt we get the added tracks? are they too ebarrassing?
Is it possible that 10 is Imagination by Beloise Some and 11 is Break my stride by Matthew Wilder?
Added Tracks (courtesy of Kazaa)
99 Luft Balloons - Nena
Prince Charming - Adam and the Ants
Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants
I come from a land down under - Can't remember who sang it.
Mad World (donnie darko remix)
Shout - Tears for Fears
Love really hurts without you - Billy Ocean
Posted by
chandler, 12:11, 18th July 2003:
vicky yes, very possibly. it was only one track you missed from the listing but that screwed each track afterwards. i would rename them on my mp3 player but i cant be arsed :)
its still a great CD, cheers :)
did you see the programme about Adam Ant last night?
Ap, ta.
Chay, sorry, no problem, no.
