  Seven Songs for the Week #93 - 15th Jan 25

  Jason Carty

  Hadn't heard this before this week. A 1980 album of covers of "oldies" using contemporary synths. Just Like Eddie was originally a Joe Meek concoction (with Geoff Goddard), created as a tribute to Eddie Cochran, and released by Heinz. This synth cover came out 17 years after the original. It must've been fun to be following music at that time. 17 years ago now is 2008 - has that much changed? Silicon Teens is apparently a fake group name for Daniel Miller, founder of the mute record label.
