This podcast wont let you down but the copies of the singles might! Yes folks, as we get into April 1982 we have our first divergence of song choice on Spotify and Apple Music. Jim Diamond and PhD go in different directions leading to different versions on the music platforms. Roxy Music get a little saucy and increase the population of West London. Also in this episode Pigbag and Shakatak, drop their highpoints, Monsoon releases a song which opened doors and Simple Minds enter their imperious stage.  Please support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/80smixtaper Links to Playlist 39 Spotify Apple Music In case the hyperlinks don't work, the tracks are: 1. Bucks Fizz - My Camera Never Lies 2. Phd / Jim Diamond - I Won't Let You Down *** 3. Monsoon - Ever So Lonely 4. Pigbag - Papa's Got A Brand New Bag 5. Shakatak - Night Birds 6. Roxy Music - More Than This 7. Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle   *** Since recording the episode, literally in the same week, the PhD version of "I Won't Let You Down" has vanished off Spotify and been replaced by....well...not the PhD version (go on to Youtube and listen to the original). The Jim Diamond solo version is still excellent.
