The first of our two glam rock anthems and an all time favourite of ours! Virginia Plain was the first single the band released back in 1972. Although it didn’t originally feature on their debut album Roxy Music, later pressings did include it. Do have a read of the lyrics, they are brilliantly bonkers.

Roxy Music - Virginia Plain

A chance meeting in 1983 had David Bowie, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook chatting away over beers in the Kings Arms in Salford. “…So we were all there just having a laugh and we joked that he should come n have a jam with us, then next minute - well, it was the next day actually, but i didn’t expect he’d definitely come by - and we were in the practice rooms and we were playing Love Will Tear Us Apart and I was like, f%$k we’re playing Love Will Tear Us Apart with David Bowie singing, this is crazy. We never released it - Bowie took a recording of it, and just layered some more vocals on for fun, sent it back to me…”

The Polecats- make a circuit with me

The Church - Under The Milky Way

Nobody on the road,
nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air,
the summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets,
the sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house
though i know you're not home...

And i can see you
you brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair pulled back
on your sunglasses on baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

I never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you made me crazy?
remember how i made you scream?

now i don't understand what happened to our love
but babe Im gonna get you back
gonna show you what i'm made of...

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow,
smiling at everyone

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

out on the road today
I saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac
a voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back

i thought i knew what love was
what did i know
those days are gone forever
i should just let them go but...

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your top pulled down,
and your radio on baby.

i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone.

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair pulled back,
and those wayfarers on baby.

and I can tell you 
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer are gone

Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey is probably one of the most recognized tracks from his fourth solo album recorded between spring 1981 and summer 1982. This was one of the first tracks to use sampling technology utilizing the ground breaking Fairlight CMI and and other classic machines such as the Linn Drum and the Prophet 5 synth. You can hear these sounds throughout the sample pack.

"...people saw that as a sort of animal rights song, but it wasn't actually it was a song about jealousy."
