Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Same here love 90's music but not the alternative artists such as Nick Cave you see on Recovery. Love Oasis Blur Suede (talk about glam rock) Travis Radiohead and many others.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

OMG!!! isn't 90s , 00s music ( the good ones ! ) considered "Vault " as the thread is titled ?

I think it depends greatly on when you grew up. Even though it's coming up to 20 years ago (my god), the early 2000s don't feel that 'retro' to me. But if you were 10 years younger than me, that era would be your teenage years, and you'd probably feel some nostalgia for it.

I can live with 'bad' (IMO) vault weeks - so long as there are some good episodes now and then.

There have been a few early 00s/late 90s-themed vault episodes. They even had 2005 as the theme one week.

Like it or not, that era is going to be 'retro' for some people.

Countdown started being repeated on rage when the last episode was only 5.5 years old. That's like airing something from 2013 as 'retro' now, as shocking as that may seem.

If only Rage would do more of these dancy Vaults I'd be the happiest man on earth. With all the YouTube, dailymotion.com and internet videos we have I still find myself buying Dance and techno DVDs ! 😊

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

I would love more dance/pop/electronic-themed vaults, too, though more from the 80s and early to mid 90s than the late 90s/early 00s. 70s disco is welcome too.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Was it labelled 'retro' in 1993 or did that come later?

I think it came later. Though, going by the episodes of Countdown shown each year posted recently by Armin, it's not as though the whole month's Saturday night programs back then were devoted to retro content, e.g. only 4 Countdown episodes aired in 1993.

Thanks thought that may be the case.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

rage goes retro, came later about 10 years ago I think. I used to love it when it was just known as Countdown in January, none of this retro b#$$@^*t!

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

No VAULT tonight ... bummer! With 90s etc being played on the VAULT during January, we're overdue a 70s or 80s VAULT, I reckon.

Vault Night is technically tonight when they are showing a Countdown and an episode of Beatbox.

I am hopeful of something good on the Beatbox episode as it is from 1985 and features Beargarden. They released The Finer Things (Sept 1984) and I Write The News (Aug 1985) which have been shown on Countdown episodes but I think their best song was Drink Drink Drink from November 1985 and that was only ever shown as a snippet on Countdown. I have never seen the full clip.

I have got their full live performance of Drink Drink Drink from Hey Hey It's Saturday but would love to see the actual clip in full. I made up clips of both the 7" and 12" versions (as I have them in vinyl) about 10 years ago and posted to YouTube using the snippet that I had.

Unfortunately the episode is from June so it is unlikely to have Drink Drink Drink.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

No Drink, Drink, Drink :-(

I didn't think it would be on for April, 1985

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Hi Armin, you mentioned you have a collection of Countdown Rev's. I have probably discussed this with you in the past & may even have traded from you as well. If you would like to email me at the following address: mshearer at internode dot on dot net - (spelt out so as not to attract spammers) I will send you the list of episodes that I have. Regards, Matt.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

theme?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

1989.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

I'd say it's more a LATE EIGHTIES special ...

- It's Money That Matters by Randy Newman is from the Land of Dreams album of 1988.
- Pretty Girls is from Cameo's 1988 album Machismo, as is Skin I'm In.
- Hooked On You is from Sweet Sensation's 1988 album Take it While It's Hot.
- Samantha Fox's Love House is from the 1988 album I Wanna Have Some Fun.
- King of Portugal by Al Stewart was released in 1988 from the Last Days of The Century album.
- Phenomena II's Did It All For Love was released on the their 1987 album Dream Runner.
- Little Lives, Big Love by Adele Bertei was on her 1988 album Little Lives.
- The Way You Love Me was released on self titled Karyn White album from 1988.
- Stevie Wonders 1987 album Characters featured My Eyes Don't Cry, but the single was released in 1988.

The rest were all from 1989.

I love how someone at Rage is delving into the more 'unplayed' songs from 70s and 80s.

Very happy to see Boomtown by David + David, loved that track in the day.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Same. Loved it when i heard it on Take 40 back in Summer '86/'87. Never saw the video until about 5 years ago on YouTube. I finally got hold of the single about 15 years ago and picked up their album - a rare find on CD - about 10 years ago. Highly recommend it esp the songs released as follow up singles....Do y'self a favour!
