I have never heard of Teenage Filmstars, tho aware of TVPs, and just got listening to Star, and while it's pretty erratic, when it's good it's GREAT imo. There are all kinds of things that surprise and delight, like yesterday I was listening to those weird martial/marching snares on Flashes, and I can't figure if I've ever even heard that before. Someone had to have done that before?

Well, Mull of Kintyre LOL. There's a bit of it on Little Boy Soldiers by the Jam, which is barely worth mentioning as it doesn't sound anything like the Teenage Filmstars. But of course the entire track sounds like a blueprint for the Times.

So, have plunged in, a bit, and found cheap (enough) copies of "If a man...", "Why do I need a gun.." and the Times' "Alternate Crossover". And the Teenage Filmstars "Buy our record" and "Rocket Charms" for balance/unbalance..
I did find "The wonderful world of Ed Ball" a year or so ago. Tippa Irie? OK..
