38. Party Fears Two – The Associates (1982)


This is a record that I no longer have in my collection as I have worn it out by playing it so often! It is one of only two songs that this has happened to, the other being the 12 inch version of ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ by ‘Soft Cell which I also played so much I was forced to buy a second copy in the 1980s! With both songs I was very pleased to discover them as itunes files which (unlike vinyl) do not succumb to wear and tear!

This song also reminds me of my friend Adele who first played it at one of the parties I attended back in 1982 and the fun times I had at the time playing my music loud and hanging out with my new romantic friends. I can’t really put my finger on why I like this song so much, maybe it’s the drama of the music or operatic voice of Billy McKenzie or the fact that I have no idea what it is about, but it meant to be played loud and enjoyed and I hope you enjoy it to.

Now listen to the song….
