| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzk9K8Wjca4&list=PL2hTdNyFttDoA8a08orbESMgGbNeejYsA[/quote] No apparent proper LP playlist on Youtube. Maybe someone can create one from these meticulously selected tracks. Anyway, this is a personal favourite of mine and one I think (hope) will unite all Wendigans of every colour and stripe in a glorious kaleidoscope of 'out-and-proud early '80s-ness. Power synth-pop masterminded by Shelley and Rushent. Side AA1 - Homosapien A2 - Yesterday's Not Here A3 - I Generate A Feeling A4 - Keats song A5 - Qu'est-ce Que C'est Que Ça Side BB1 - I Don't Know What It Is B2 - Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself B3 - Pusher Man B4 - Just One of Those Affairs B5 - It's Hard Enough Knowing INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTREhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosapien_(album) https://www.discogs.com/Pete-Shelley-Homosapien/release/720292 _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Maybe we should do a Peter Shelley album too, for purposes of contrast. _________________ |

| It was Peter Shelley who was the original voice of Alvin Stardust. _________________ |

| It turns out that, officially, he never released any albums. _________________ |

| He did, however, produce the first Alvin Stardust album and wrote most of the songs for it, including its singles. Therefore, I think we can count that as a Peter Shelley album. _________________ |

| It's just occurred to me that Alvin Stardust was named after Ziggy Stardust, which is appropriate, as Ziggy Stardust was based on Vince Taylor, and Alvin Stardust's image was basically identical to that of Vince Taylor. _________________ |

| So if Alvin Stardust was merely a persona, how come there was that letter in Viz 30 years ago about serving Alvin Stardust in a petrol station and seeing that his credit card had ALVIN STARDUST on it? _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| The power of the Alvin Stardust persona was so great that it had the power to bend the minds of bank managers. _________________ |

| I'm trying to create a Youtube playlist. I've selected all the right tracks in the right order but I don't know how to save it. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Are you clicking on the ☰+ under the video? Add to new playlist, repeat for each song, and then under your videos there should be a playlist created |
