Vice Versa-8 aspects(1980,tape)+Music 4(7" e.p.,1979)+Stilyagi/Eyes of Christ(7",1980),UK




Sheffield synth band formed late 70s. Released Music 4 E.P. in 1979 on their own Neutron label, line up of Mark White and Stephen Singleton were then joined by Martin Fry. Went on to release cassette only 8 Aspects mini L.P. and Stilyagi 7" single. Around 1981 Vice Versa became ABC. Excellent mood darky experimental mynimal synth here!

  2. Many thanks for this! Previously only heard 'stilyagi' from the New Wave Complex sampler, surprising really considering their lineage. Great stuff!

  6. Hi there, dunno if you'll read this soon, anyway - thanks for posting information about Vice Versa - however, I would love to take a listen to your version of '8 Aspects of' tape - my favourite VV collection, I happen to have a decent rip still it is somewhat strange in edit (a bit slower from original spool). (if you're interested, drop me a note on www.mypace.com/narrowatd - I'll send you my versions - the 7" ones in digital format are really good sounding...)

    So if you're willing to upload it (sendspace only please for I cannot download it otherwise) - I would be very greatful. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
