"The Age of Reason is out to lunch." Dave brings in an album from a new wave band that deserves to be remembered for more than one hit, THE VAPORS, NEW CLEAR DAYS (1980) the album with TURNING JAPANESE and a number of other pretty cool songs.

Om avsnittet

New Clear Days is the 1980 debut album by the British rock group The Vapors. It spent six weeks in the UK album charts, reaching a highest position of No. 44 in June 1980. It contains their best-known song, "Turning Japanese", which reached No. 3 in the UK chart in February 1980 and was also a worldwide success. A remix of "News at Ten" (named after the well-known ITV news programme), went to No. 44 in July of that year. A third single, a re-recording of "Waiting for the Weekend" that included a horn section, failed to chart.
