I quite like Doctorin' The Tardis with its use of classic 70s samples. The Timelords are better known as The KLF.

Yes,it's 3 years since we last saw Sade in the top 40. KLF had a few top 5 hits in the early 90s.

Top of the Pops 30/6/1988 Presented by Peter Powell & Gary Davies
Hazell Dean Maybe (We Should Call It A Day) No18 Bruce Springsteen Tougher Than The Rest (Video) No15 Tracey Chapman Fast Car (Video) No10 Matt Bianco Don't Blame It On That Girl No14 Salt N Pepa Push It (Video) No7 T'Pau I Will Be With You No17 Fat Boys & Chubby Checker The Twist (Video) No2 ***No1 Bros I Owe You Nothing ***No1 2 Weeks Glen Medeiros Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You (Video) No11 As said earlier the 23rd June episode wasn't shown due to the poor quality of the footage. We start with terrible SAWesque cheese from Hazel which abounds very Of it's time. The best part was Powell presenting with ridiculously short white shorts!! Springsteen video next of a track I'm not familiar with, sounds quite nice though. Wonderful Fast Car climbing the chart on its first run, pity we just got the video! We don't get any breakers for the first time in ages, instead we get the hip hop classic Push it by Salt N Pepa, well the video anyway! We return to the studio with T'Pau with another nice pop/country number, albeit the hits were drying up already. Then another video of the rap version of the Twist which was at No2, they must have been desperate for it to reach the top spot. Why did PHil Collins re-release In The Air again? Bros spend a second week at no1 with the alright I Owe You Nothing!! This post has been edited by Steve201: 8th October 2019, 02:42 PM |

In The Air Tonight was a remix but not very different to the original. It just had some extra drums in the background during the quiet first half of the song. I don't why it was released,he didn't have a greatest hits collection out. It did very well to get as high as no.4,just two places lower than the original version.

I remember watching the performance of the original by him in the 1981 edition with the tin of paint and all there on stage.

Allegedly lol!
Its a fantastic song though and for me that was the single that propelled him to the heights he reached through the 80s. This post has been edited by Steve201: 9th October 2019, 05:34 PM |

Here's what I wrote about it in my 88 thread "Selling over 400,000 copies in its original 1981 release “In The Air Tonight” now comes in an 1988 remixed form courtesy of Ben Liebrand who mixed the track for his DJ set telling the crowd that if they wanted the mix released then they should call Virgin records, apparently over a thousand queries were lodged with the label resulting ultimately in the song being issued. It charges 35-8 (23,000) this week, its Collins’s first release in 3 years and is his 7th top 10 single if you view it as a separate release to the original which of course went to No 2 behind John Lennon" |

Top of the Pops 7/7/1988 Presented by Simon Mayo & Janice Long
The Communards There's More to Love No20 Mac Band Roses Are Red (Ft McCampbell Brothers) (Video) No16 Everything But The Girl I Don't Wanna Talk About It No23 NE **Breakers Debbie Gibson Foolish Beat (Video) No34 NE **Breakers Magnum It Must Have Been Love (Video) No33 **Breakers Erik B & Rakim Follow The Leader (Video) No21 **Breakers Natalie Cole Everlasting (Video) No28 Inxs Never Tear Us Apart (Video) No24 Eight Wonder Cross My Heart No22 ***No1 Glenn Mederios Nothing Gonna Change My Love For You No1*** Transvision Vamp I Want Your Love (Video) No32 Great to see Janice back, for one of the last times!! Some great songs and a lot of videos this week but when they are as good as Inxs Never Tear Us Apart who cares. Also the wonderful Everything But the Girl with the classic I Don't Wanna Talk About It and one of the final performances from The Communards in the studio. We get a second glimpse of the beautiful young Patsy Kensit with the cheese fest that is Eight Wonder. We end up with a cheesy Glenn Mederios at no1 with a song that has grown over the past 30 years (anyone know if this is the original?)after being used in many films/ads. He even got Presented with an 18th birthday cake by Kim Wilde which I'm sure was the highlight of his day. I actually like it but gutted it's holding Salt n Pepa back!! We finish with the punkish Transvision Vamp video!! This post has been edited by Steve201: 12th October 2019, 08:30 AM |
