Must-have for 80s pop lovers
Plastic Age is the first album by the Buggles, with the famous hit 'Video Killed The Radio Star' - the first song ever to be shown on MTV, although the album dates from 1980.
Trevor Horn went onto great things with Yes, Art of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Seal etc etc but here he shows his skill as budding producer, singer and songwriter along with fellow bandmate Geoff Downes..
So how does it sound? In a word: Breathtaking. I am listening to it now and the hairs are standing up on the back of my neck. What more could anyone want? I love the new style packaging with these SHM-SACDs. You get a classy cardboard jewel box with a foldover 'LP' style sleeve inside, plus a soft inner sleeve to store the disc. It all looks and feels fabulous and well worth the money, with the usual perfect packing and quick dispatch from CD-JAPAN. AWESOME!!!!!!
