In The Dark 80s Song

Sound of the Crowd: a Discography of the '80s (Fourth Edition)

SOUND OF THE CROWD: A DISCOGRAPHY OF THE '80s is the ultimate record collector's guide to the 1980s. In the era of multi-formatting, picture discs, coloured vinyl, multiple remixes, funny shaped records and tiny CDs you could lose down the back of the sofa, this book lists every format of every single, EP and album released in the UK in the 1980s by over 140 of the decade's biggest acts, from ABBA to Paul Young. This fourth edition has been fully revised and expanded to include even more acts than ever before, with additional sections to cover Band Aid-style charity congregations and compilation albums from the early '80s K-Tel efforts through to the Now That's What I Call Music series and its competitors. Compiled by Steve Binnie, editor of the '80s music website Sound of the Crowd and writer, producer and co-host of the unconventional '80s chart show Off The Chart, broadcast weekly on Mad Wasp Radio.

The Great Rock Discography

The Eddy

After 18-year-old Toby Casper survives a suicidal motorcycle ride, he attempts to reclaim his life. But some things don't rest that easily. When he meets Mitchell James, the wildly erratic English teacher who harbors his own dark past, the two strike up an unusual partnership. From the tough halls of an inner city high school, to the trout filled waters of the American West, The Eddy takes the reader on a memorable journey sure to resonate with anyone who has ever longed to break away. Don't just give this book to the fly fisher in your life; give it to anyone who knows what it's like to be different, to anyone who struggles to find a place of comfort in this world.
