SOUND OF THE CROWD: A DISCOGRAPHY OF THE Õ80s
is the ultimate record collectorÕs guide to the 1980s.
In the era of multi-formatting, picture discs, coloured vinyl, multiple remixes, funny shaped records and tiny CDs you could lose down the back of the sofa, this book lists every format of every single, EP and album released in the UK in the 1980s by over 140 of the decadeÕs biggest acts, from ABBA to Paul Young.
This fourth edition has been fully revised and expanded to include even more acts than ever before, with additional sections to cover Band Aid-style charity congregations and compilation albums from the early Õ80s K-Tel efforts through to the Now ThatÔs What I Call Music series and its competitors.
Compiled by Steve Binnie, editor of the Õ80s music website Sound of the Crowd and writer, producer and co-host of the unconventional Õ80s chart show Off The Chart, broadcast weekly on Noisebox Radio.
