Step aside ‘Thatcher’ – The TATP Years hits 1982! Yes, it’s another of our ‘acclaimed’ series of audio collages, this time covering the year that will forever be inextricably linked with the copyright symbol and the words ‘Sinclair’, ‘Research’ and ’Ltd’.
And before you hit R Tape Loading Error, there’s time for Soft Cell, Alexei Sayle, Doctor Who, Saturday Superstore, Blade Runner, XTC, Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl, Madness, Pac-Man, Orange Juice, Britannia Hospital, The Stranglers, Moonsoon, Japan, early Fry & Laurie vehicle The Cellar Tapes, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, The Beat, The Associates, Bring ‘Em Back Alive, Yazoo, The Waitresses, Late Night With Letterman, Iron Maiden, the Weetabix skinheads and of course the launch of Channel 4, bringing with it Countdown, The Comic Strip Presents…, Treasure Hunt and The Tube. “It’s going to plan, and you can’t say better than that…”
You can download it here, or – ta-daaaa! – subscribe via the newly restored iTunes feed, and while you’re at it you can give 1972 and 1997 a listen too…
