2NG's retro-chart is from Sept 1983 today. some great UK nuggets here.
http://www.chartstats.com/chart.php?week=19830903#40: Annabel Lamb (who?) doing a technopop cover of "Riders on the Storm". NTM and it kinda works, actually.
holy crap: the Moodies "Blue World" is also NTM and Bowie/Metheny TOTALLY ripped this off 2 years later for "Falcon/Snowman". Find of the week.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COCCp62oAy4amd another NTM 45: JoBoxers, "Johnny Friendly" a song based on
On the Waterfront (!)
aaack! "Sexy + 17" You can't MAKE me listen!
OMFG! "Right Now" by the Creatures!!
OMFG2! Kraftwerk!!
Shalamar's "Disappearing Act" is also NTM -- Jody Watley right out front, and this sounds a lot like "Dead Giveaway"
back to this chart in time for --OMGWTFLOL --- Wham! "Club Tropicana"!
*swoon* - Spandau Ballet, "Gold"
*swoon* 2: KC's criminally neglected "Give it Up"
