AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

 Dear people, it is a very long time I didn`t posted anything, and the only reason for that is that I had complains about copyrights and similiar things, so I decided that I will maybe continue the blog in 2021., but anyway without download links. I know it is a huge handicap for this blog, but I can`t do any other way. I don`t wanna have troubles with law and copyrights. 

So.. that would be it. I will try to continue this blog because I like it.


Happy new 2021 to everyone!!

TOM TOM CLUB - Wordy Rappinghood -1981

This is the first big hit from this band leaded by the rhythm section from Talking Heads, bassist Tina Weymouth and her husband, drummer Chris Frantz. The title song is an incredibly catchy song with an infectious rhythm, a perfect hit and one of my all times favourite too. The b-side is an instrumental version of side A, just a filler.

YU ROCK MISIJA - Za Milion Godina -1985

This was the Yugoslavian band-aid that was involved in the global Live Aid 1985 project (actually, if you have the Live Aid 1985 quadruple DVD, you can find a bit of the video for this song). It was a really nice song, a lot of ex-yu musicians partecipated in it, and one of them refused- Bora Djordjevic from Riblja Čorba. The b-side is the instrumental version of the song.

LULU - Me, The Peaceful Heart -1968


And this is the last flexi-disc from the Dzuboks-collection I have.Here is one of the hits from this UK singer that started in the early 60s, and is still singing. A very nice pop-song.

ZDRAVKO COLIC - Druze Tito, Mi Ti Se Kunemo -1980




This single is something you will all wonder about, and older ex-yu inhabitants will remeber well. This single was released a very short time prior to presidents Tito`s death, a death that meant the beginning of the end of Yugoslavia. This song was recorded to be played at Titos birthday, which came a bit too late. I remember me being a 11-year-old boy partecipating at the SLET (a kind of mass dance to celebrate the president`s birthday) in Pula.Well, the a-side has a very memorable song, and the b-side is just another Tito-worshipping song, both sung by the beautiful voice of Zdravko Colic.

ZAGER AND EVANS - In The Year 2525 -1969




This is a great song, both musically and lyrically.I don`t know much about ZAE, but this is probably a one-hit-wonder.And this is surely a hit.The single I have is the worst sound quality single I have ever heard in my life (not the version you can download here, of course), not because I have a really old copy, but because of the fact that the single sounds like it is made from an old damaged audio tape, unbeliavable (once I get the equipment, I will rip it for you to hear).The b-side is an easy song, very smooth and a nice one, not noticeable as the title track.

KATE BUSH - Hammer Horror -1981




Another fine Kate Bush work.Hammer Horror is a sad song done with the well known KB-twist, making it a great and expressive song.The b-side is a strange, but typically Kate Bush song, more than a definition of just a filler.Great single.Great woman.

CLIFF RICHARD - I`ll Come Runnin` -1967


The next flexi I present to you (one more to go!) comes from the good old Cliff Richard, and his hit from the year 1967, a nice pop song.

GRACE JONES - I`ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango) -1981



This is the breakout single of one of the most erotic female singers in the history of music.I adore Grace, her music, and this is literally a classic.This is as a whole a great single, with her first huge hit on the first side, as for the b-side, Warm Leatherette is the title track of the album, so it is another great tune for this single.Cool stuff!

LIO` - Amoreux Solitaires -1980




This is an ancient single from a one-hit Belgian hottie.Lio` was a teenage star with this very catchy song (if you don`t have a problem with the french language), a melody that should be proclaimed as official pre-school singalong song.The b-side is a more serious one, but in the context of the single, just a filler.The title song is an instant hit!
