Retro week 4 - 2/12/84 episode

Thought I'd post a few of my observations/comments on this episode:

Firstly, I'm assuming that 'stiff' on stage during the performance of 'Shake This City' was a dummy?

I loved how Gavin kept calling Alison Moyet's surname as 'MOY'YET'.

Chrissy Amphlett cracked me up with her moves. She sounded like a real Brit and looked and sounded like the kid out of HR Puffnstuff & Oliver. . Also was one of the backing singers in this video, the chick who fronted The Rockmelons in 1985 for 'Time Out For Serious Fun'? Her name escapes me.

I loved how there was a good mix of studio performances and videos and esp. liked how Molly's interviews popped up during the videos, cause watching the same old videos can be a bit boring at times.

I will never be listening to 'Like A Virgin' again and I think it would have to be her worst song!

I noticed the picture quality was a bit off sorts throughout the "live" performances, like it had been edited or something?

Re: Retro week 4 - 2/12/84 episode

Yeah, at times I was thinking the picture looked a bit grainy ie as if I watching one of my 90's Countdowns on VHS tape, or I was watching it in its day.

Re: Retro week 4 - 2/12/84 episode

Ooooh, so I wasn't THE only one who also thought it looked a little grainy. Interesting ...

Re: Retro week 4 - 2/12/84 episode

Yup, grainy in places here too

Sandi Chick is the singer you're thinking of Michael
