Re: 1982 Countdowns

That's correct Guru I did ask for those 1982 eps. This is what I've posted on Rage for my request over the last few months.

1/8/82 - Eurogliders
26/9/82 - Billy Field
8/5/83 - Eurogliders
22/5/83 - Molly
19/6/83 - Bonnie Tyler
9/12/84 - Molly
24/3/85 - Spandau Ballet
16/4/87 - Molly hosting from the Underground Disco

Laterly I have suggested the 17/3/85 Timebandits ep as well also featuring Spandau Ballet.

I also suggested Rage could play that 1975 Weekend Magazine excerpt looking at the 50th ep of Countdown. Plus some Countdown Revolution eps - namely their Xmas specials for 1989/90.

Yes I recall you mentioning Rage could play a string of Eurogliders hosted eps. Including the 2 I've mentioned there's a 84 and 86 ep hosted by them which together would make for a fantastic night's viewing. Rage played the 1985 Eurogliders ep last year.

Without sounding too immodest (me? never!) I think those selections sound interesting enough to warrant inclusion into any Retro season...hopefully some will surface in the remaining 2 retro nights this year....

Re: 1982 Countdowns

AHHHHH!

I requested the 1987 Episode from Underground I think twice over the years BUT never got it so I also gave up. Glad I ain't the only one that wants it!

So WANT to see the FAB Boy George fans at the Underground!

Re: 1982 Countdowns

Still don't get either why rage have NOY played the Bonnie Tyler episode from 1983!

They would rather choose the episodes that don't have as much bounce in them than the ones that do???!!!
