Free Music Notes for We Are the '80s Album
Free Music Review: The complete 1982 "Scandal" EP, a rare B side, and 3 previously unreleased songs!
Hit: 5 Stars
Scandal was a 1980s new wave band from New York City. Their lead singer was Patty Smyth. Their lead songwriter was band member Zack Smith.
Scandal was first exposed to the world in late 1982, when their low budget but high energy video for "Goodbye To You" received heavy rotation on MTV. Patty Smyth proved to the world that she was a strong, smart, beautiful, sexy, assertive, and groovy new wave chick. This sassy kissoff song is the epitome of early 80's new wave. It's also my favorite song of all time.
Scandal is also known for their hauntingly beautiful and intimate ballad "Love's Got A Line On You," and their rousing and powerful rocker "The Warrior."
In 1982, Scandal released a 5 song EP called "Scandal." The EP had 5 songs on it: "Goodbye To You," "Love's Got A Line On You," "Win Some Lose Some," "She Can't Say Know," and "Another Bad Love." This new compilation CD is called "We Are The 80's," and contains all 5 songs from the EP. Scandal fans have been waiting for a CD release of this EP for over 2 decades, and now we finally have it!
This CD also contains the song "All My Life," which was the B-side of the "Goodbye To You" single.
In 1984, Scandal released their "Warrior" album. This CD contains 5 songs from that album: "Warrior," "Beat Of A Heart," "Hands Tied," "Say What You Will," and "Tonight."
This CD contains 3 songs that had never been released before in any format: "Grow So Wise," "If You Love Me," and "I'm Here Tonight."
"We Are The 80's" is a great showcase of Scandal's songs. It's far superior to the previous "Scandalous" compilation CD.
The early 80's was a great time for new wave women. If you watched a lot of MTV back then, you are probably already familiar with new wave artists such as the Pretenders, Blondie, the Waitresses, the Bangles, The Go Go's, Missing Persons, and the Motels, all of whose music I recommend.
But there are 2 other early 80's new wave artists that I would like to tell you about. Both were so obscure that as far as I know, they were never on MTV. I only know about them because they had music in the 1983 movie "Valley Girl," which is a movie that I recommend.
One of them is Josie Cotton. I love her 1982 album "Convertible Music." It's available on CD. The CD actually contains 2 of her albums on one CD. "Convertible Music" makes up the first 11 songs on the CD.
The other artist is Bonnie Hayes With The Wild Combo. I love their 1982 album "Good Clean Fun." Unfortunately, it's never been released on CD. But the good news is that Bonnie lets you download 3 of the album's songs for free: "Girls Like Me," "Shelly's Boyfriend," and "Coverage." Google "Bonnie Hayes" to find her website to get those songs.
If any of the record company people are reading this, please release the "Good Clean Fun" album on CD!
Anyway, to those of you who like Scandal, I recommend checking out all of the above mentioned artists. I also recommend Scandal's "Warrior" CD, and Patty Smyth's CD "Greatest Hits Featuring Scandal."
