# 408 The Gas - It shows in your face

Side a: It shows in your face
Side b: Tomorrow
UK 1980
First single output on Polydor records by this underrated band from England. Side a is a cracking powerpop/punk number. The b side is more an uninspired reggea number. I post their 4th single on this blog too.

This was requested by Ralf.

# 406 Fay Ray - Family affairs


Side a: Family affairs
Side b: Didn't have to say that
UK 1980

One of my old new wave/post punk favs. The band was from Bangor/Wales and this is their first record on "Surrey Sound Records". In 1982 they released the fine Album "Contact you" on Elektra records and the excellent single "Heatwave".

London born Johnny Warman with his second single as a solo performer.
A very strong b-side track makes this record worth listening. This single was only released in germany on RCA. Read more about Johnny Warman here.
