Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love b/w Remember To Remember (1986) - single
"Addicted to Love" is a song by English rock singer Robert Palmer released in 1986. It is the third song on Palmer's 1985 album Riptide and was released as its second single. The single version is a shorter edit of the full-length album version.
Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.
Andy Taylor of Duran Duran (and a bandmate of Palmer's from The Power Station) provides lead guitar. The other guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez and keyboards by Wally Badarou. The song is also notable for its opening drum solo by Tony Thompson, another Power Station alumnus.
Noddy Holder (the lead vocalist of English rock band Slade) stated in an interview that this song was the main track he wished he had written himself. "The one main song that I wish that I'd written and recorded is 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer. To me, that's a perfect pop song. Everything about it really hits the nail on the head."
"Addicted to Love" became Palmer's signature song, thanks in part to a popular video featuring high fashion models.

Hugh Masekela - Don't Go Lose It Baby b/w Don't Go Lose It Baby (Dub) (1984) - single
Don’t Go Lose It Baby is featured on his album Techno Bush released by Jive Afrika records in 1984, and is a great example of the kind of sounds that emerged within a post-disco era.
This song was a hit within the underground dance scene in the US and Masekela even performed at the famed club Paradise Garage in the 80’s. (Paradise Garage was a NYC disco club that operated from 76-87 with resident DJ Larry Levan).
Masekela is known as a Jazz musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer from South Africa, and he’s been releasing music for the last 60 years.
Summarizing the depth of his accomplishments and success is difficult to articulate in a few paragraphs so I’m not even going to try.
He is a trumpet master, a musical pioneer and he’s still going strong.

Angie - Peppermint Lump b/w Breakfast In Naples (1979) - single
In 1979 Townshend produced and performed guitar on the novelty single "Peppermint Lump" by Angie on Stiff Records, featuring 11-year-old Angela Porter on lead vocals.
One of the rarest Stiff singles,it was produced by Pete Townshend who also played on it,for child star Angie Porter who had been seen in "Rod Hull & Emu" and one of the Wombles films.
Song was written by an Eel Pie staff writer,James Asher,though no details ever emerged of other songs and he was more noted for making library albums.
Pete's guitar, appropriate sound effects, and Angie's untrained voice all combine to make it a welcome break from sleek mass-produced pulp. It's unpretentious and very English!
The band played on the B side as "Angie's Orchestra" and included a couple of members of Pete's brother Simon's "On The Air",who later formed half of Big Country.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes b/w One February Friday (1984)
"Two Tribes" is an anti-war song by British band Frankie Goes to Hollywood, released in the UK by ZTT Records on 4 June 1984.
The song was later included on the album Welcome to the Pleasuredome. Presenting a nihilistic, gleeful lyric expressing enthusiasm for nuclear war, it juxtaposes a relentless pounding bass line and guitar riff inspired by American funk and R&B pop with influences of Russian classical music, in an opulent arrangement produced by Trevor Horn.
The single was released at a time when the Cold War had intensified and fears about global nuclear warfare were at a peak. Although Johnson would attest in a 1984 radio interview that the "two tribes" of the song potentially represented any pair of warring adversaries (giving the examples of "cowboys and Indians or Captain Kirk and Klingons"), the line "On the air America/I modelled shirts by Van Heusen" is a clear reference to then US President Ronald Reagan. Reagan had advertised for Phillips Van Heusen in 1953 (briefly reviving the association in the early 1980s). The title of his first film had been Love Is On The Air.
The lyric "working for the black gas" is, according to Johnson, "About oil surpassing gold. How you might as well be paid in petrol."And the line "Are we living in a land where sex and horror are the new gods?" was inspired by the 1959 British film Cover Girl Killer.
Johnson explained, "The TV was on in the background while I was doing me ironing and suddenly this character came out with that statement." (The actual dialogue, which occurs at about 48 minutes 24 seconds into the film, is "Surely sex and horror are the new gods in this polluted world of so-called entertainment?")
The track featured snippets of narration from actor Patrick Allen, recreating his narration from the British Protect and Survive public information films about how to survive a nuclear war. (The original Protect and Survive soundtracks were sampled for the 7-inch mixes.)

The Specials - Ghost Town b/w Why? (1981) - single
"Ghost Town" is a song by the British two-tone band the Specials, released on 12 June 1981. The song spent three weeks at number one and 10 weeks in total in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. Addressing themes of urban decay, deindustrialisation, unemployment and violence in inner cities, the song is remembered for being a hit at the same time as riots were occurring in British cities.
Internal tensions within the band were also coming to a head when the single was being recorded, resulting in the song being the last single recorded by the original seven members of the group before splitting up.
The B-side, written by two different members of the Specials. "Why?" is a plea for racial tolerance and was written by guitarist Lynval Golding in response to a violent racist attack he had suffered in July 1980 outside the Moonlight Club in West Hampstead in London, which had left him hospitalised with broken ribs.

Spandau Ballet - Muscle Bound b/w Glow (1981) - single
"Muscle Bound" is a song by English new wave band Spandau Ballet, released as the third single from their debut album Journeys to Glory. In the UK, it was released as a double A-side with the song "Glow"; elsewhere, "Glow" was included as the B-side.
A spare funky guitar-lick gets stomped on all over by a galumphing drum beat and a somewhat monotonous chant number two.
