I don't think even Jemini's own parents would revere them, but thanks for the link! As for that Youka song, no, I've never heard of it either, and I was also taping stuff off the radio at the time. Was it a local thing?

Chig - no, very national. I taped it off Radio 1 (the Paul Burnett and DLT shows, no less)

"D Days" Hazel O'Connor.... she was a weird one too wasn't she? (though not in quite the same way obviously a bit hatstand that Lene was)

No recollection of Youka here (as predicted).

Midlands boy me. I, too, was taping off Radio 1 during the summer hols. They used to do a roadshow touring coastal towns of UK. I even taped "bits n pieces" and "our tune" so I could listen to them again! That Einstien a Go Go song is still foot tappingly good.

Wow, after all the good stuff last month this one comes crashing down to earth doesn't it? Lots of filler and not very well remembered songs by bands more famous for other things. I wouldn't pick any of them, to be perfectly frank!

It appears to be spelt Yuka but there's little other information:

Tea Rooms of Mars was not their only album. The first was the self-titled 'Landscape'

Of the songs you've listed, my favourite both then and now would be PiL's "Flowers Of Romance". However, my actual favourite - again, both then and now - is, by a country mile, Orange Juice's "Poor Old Soul". April 1981 was a great month for indie, and especially Scottish indie. "Candyskin" by the Fire Engines, anyone?

Awww Candyskin. Love that now, but didn't quite get it at the time, more's the pity.

They've just released the John Peel session version of Candyskin on 7" vinyl, you know...

Well for me it would've had to have been.... Ai No Corida (again brought right bang up to date recently with a RVT stylee Jon Dixon mix - fabulous) But if I'm really honest, *ahem*, at the time like... it was .... Bermuda Triangle. I've still got the 7" in the loft somewhere. Gosh, was it really 25 years ago? *slaps on a double application of Clinique*
