Pel Mel - No Word From China (1981 - Countdown)

I've still got all the vinyl too - and enjoy it - on very rare occasion. Persuasion. Also, I shot some video of them live too - back at the San Miguel Inn in Cammeray (now apartment blocks) typically excellent live performance and sound when they used Hunters and Collectors' PA (while the latter were performing in the UK). I must dig out those VHS and Beta tapes and "YouTube" them too - so you, I, and the band can enjoy them again. Hidden classics. Judy, Graeme, Paul or Dave - contact me...

How did these guys get on Countdown? It's pretty alternative stuff for Molly's tastes. It's good though.

@pmam1968 An unforgivably huge gaping void was the absence of The Smiths from Countdown.

Great I would like to see more live performance videos of some other bands.

I have heaps, will be putting them up soon...

They weren't performing this live, unfortunately. Just miming like everybody did on Countdown.
