Party Down, Rock The House, Burn The Cat...Beware Of Sudden Impact!

It's Friday, time for some rabble rousing!

 

1,315 posts in and I'm still finding plenty of music - and artists - that I've not featured on this blog before. 

 

All songs today come from 1980 or 1985 (and a couple in between), are presented in remixed or extended form and make their debut appearance in a Dubhed selection*.  

 

It's also the first time that The Lotus Eaters and Electric Guitars have featured here, full stop.

Some production heavyweights at the controls: John Leckie, Paul 'Groucho' Smykle, Dave Bascombe, Martin Rushent, Rusty Egan and Bob Sargeant. 

The lyrics are lifted from Sudden Impact! Now, whilst Mick Jones and the lads may be B.A.D., do not take them literally. By all means party down and rock the house, but please don't burn the cat!
