Wow…WoW…WOW!! Some great numbers of fellow travellers
checking out the three collections posted so far. I must admit that I might
have been a bit too keen in posting them in the space of a week and should have
maybe taken more time in the presentation, write up and time period so that as
many folks as possible could enjoy them. Not to worry though as I’ll retro tag
them all to make it easier, for the late arrivals to this little party, to
find. Now to the meat (vegan
alternatives are available) of this collection. As suggested by the title many
of you will know, or more to the point recognise, most of the bands/songs
enclosed within. I have posted a couple of the bands/singles earlier in the
blog history which might/might not encourage you to investigate past posts. Kicking
off this set is the well-received personal favourite 12” single of mine “Fire
Island”. Solidly followed up by the Arthur Baker remix of “Freemason (You Broke
The Promise)”, the Sinister Subway mix of “Underpass” and a track from the
first AIDS benefit single. Interested?? Not yet? MMMmmm. How about we partake
in some “Chinese Black” and slowly descend below the waves of despair into
“Marilyn’s Dreams”. Become a “Witness (To A Scream)” from a “Lady Shave”
“Assassin”. Yeah, now we’re talking!
This time there are only 21 sacrificial lambs for your
listening pleasure, but don’t be fooled into thinking that I have given you
only 20 artists. There are many bands in this arena that operate on the same
wavelength, so it is extremely likely they would believe that they are the
original Neon. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The “I Think I Know This” Collection contains the likes
of;
Pink Industry
Rheingold
Spoons
Car Crash Set
The Passage
Kissing The Pink
Note; The Neon Judgement track was stupidly taken from a
low bitrate 12” single source. I can, and might still, do better.

Thanks for these fantastic collections. They've taken over my life. Longtime visitor to your blog, long overdue to praise it.
