Ep 45 Jul 82 Stranglers, Kid Creole, Madness, McRarys, Boys Town Gang, Blancmange, Survivor

This week the pod gets the eye of the tiger as we step into late July 1982. The Stranglers play a trick on their record label, Kid Creole tells the tale of a crook turned informant, Madness release possibly the best car-related song ever and the McRarys bring a little gospel to proceedings. In the latter half we meet the Boys Town Gang and learn of their impact on the High NRG scene, are Blancmange Britain's answer to Talking Heads? We end with Rocky throwing down to Survivor's Eye of the Tiger.
