B-MOVIE Rememberance Day 1981

[upfrontbear74]

Got this today on 7 inch single for 49p LOL

[parrface1]

This was another "OMG-I forgot this existed" 12" that I found at my M&D's the other week - an early 80's classic on 11/11/11-enjoy! Ps unless you're beatin me door down or tryin to knick me car, I'm a pacifist - whilst I appreciate what the sacrifice has been on both sides of many wars, if everyone chose to stay home & be with their family instead of checking in with the army in any given war throughout history, there wouldn't be any need for remembrance day-would there? I peace for peace, I do

[iwantmorrissey]

my dad introduced me to B Movie last year, such a good band. even though i wasn't alive in the 80s i don't understand how they never made it big.

[MsKebabster]

Brilliant song. Whatever happened to B Movie? They should've been huge.

love and devotion

[SuperCaractacus]

Only the dead have seen the end of war - Plato.

Brilliant tune, always was, always will be.

[luckysimon7]

Great to hear his again, shame it jumps a bit towards the end - the thing I don't miss about vinyl!

[colt79sigma]

@luckysimon7 it wasn't the vinyl jumping, it was the software I used to rip the vinyl to my old hard drive. Vinyl should not jump if you have a decent set up - it's also uncompressed like CD & MP3.

[LowBid86]

Um, not available on iTunes...

[sideburnstijger]

@LowBid86 Are you surprised?

[MrScarysbro]

Now there's a tune that's been in my head since the first time i heard it back in 81.

Love it. Thanks for sharing it

[JustaScotsman]

Loved this band , they filled the void for me between punk ending and Early goth starting........Great days.!!

[Happysundaze]

Indie disco floor filler from the golden era of post-punk when anything was possible.

Bands went for it and sometimes achieved fleeting mastery of their field. This is such a complete tune.

[morganjbryan]

This is a classic song from the early 80's. The band had some great songs and should have had more recognition

[offroadrc]

audio heros

[MrIliner]

Had this on a free flexi with smash hits and lost it. Great to hear it again.

[Vercingetorix2006]

Great song...believe it was on the flipside of the Nowhere Girl EP. Had to order a new belt for my Technics turntable so I can listen to these vinyl classics for another 20 years-God willing.

[colt79sigma]

@Vercingetorix2006 Remeberance Day was a single in it's own right as well - thats what you can see in the video !

[Vercingetorix2006]

@colt79sigma Yes, thank you.

[RainPoetry]

OMG, wearing a keffiyeh back in the early 80s? 0:29 Too awesome!

[chasman19651888]

[shawrryyy]

terence smith played this for me all those years ago. the older i get the more i of course understand the poignancy of the song but also how much i enjoyed my youth - all those years ago. where are you tez!

[nobbyblue1]

just found 7" single  in my wardrobe with all my big country ones boss to hear this again think ill invest in a record player eighties rule.

[Bow1elow]

My God.........I bought this on single when it came out........that cover brings back memories............some bastard nicked the record I've been looking for it for yonks.I think it was last year when a 3 disc compilation came out called "The Edge of the Eighties" and it was on there............It was a poxy remake,never been so let down.But it was great to hear this original.Thanks.pity about the jump near the end but thats vinyl for ya.

[pfenomic]

[kbr61263]

saw them in london.. maybe 1982.. David Bowie was in the audience

[indiasign1]

God I'd forgotten how much I loved this song!!

[truchiytrucha]

que 4 minutos mas bien apañaos. PRECIOSIDAD

[indienick2]

Does any one know the notes for this song plz?

[s2trash]

@indienick2

Use to cover this in a band i was in but i played bass by ear

[precinkt]

@s2trash You should have used a plectrum!

[talktal]

the faint ripped this song off.

[BasicToaster]

@talktal more like they promoted it. if they didnt make 'southern belles in london sing' i would never have found this song

[VernianProcess]

@talktal I used to think that too, but as it turns out The Faint actually got permission to use the progression from B-Movie, and they credit Remembrance Day in the liner notes of that album. Pretty cool of them to not take the easy route and just rip em off.

[PIORNEDO123]

this is the 1st record i bought when i was 11 yeras old,brigs me nice moments from the past.....gracias"COLT79SIGMA"!­!

[TrainmasterCurt]

If you like this check out 1981 blitz dance party as a search for a similar band playing at a new-romantic dance party in Montreal, Canada, great stuff!

[TrainmasterCurt]

I love this great music! So much better than today, long live 1979-1985! but especially 1981

[cutestcoolkiz]

i dont supose you have a copy of the music love it thanks

[cutestcoolkiz]

love the video

[cutestcoolkiz]

im surprised i can still remember the words ive been looking for this for ages classic

[mst007]

This track is a New Romantic epic. I should know, i bought it when it came out. had the flexi too.

Mark delaney has it about right

[ianagar]

Nice to see that bands like White Lies have raided their parents record collections and obviously found this gem! Seem to remember having it on a flexi-disk. Remember them?

[markdelaney]

I'd go as far to say this is one of the best records of all time and this band deserved to be massive.

[Homoholic]

markdelaney, please let's not get carried away!

'Remembrance Day' is a pretty good song but there are hundreds of much better New Wave records.

I've heard 2 other versions and this one is my favourite.

I'm not sure B-Movie can be considered a New Romantic band. They sound a bit like early Spandau Ballet but that's about it.

[markdelaney]

Homoholic I'm entitled to my opinion as you are. If you can't accept that perhaps youtube isn't for you ?

[Homoholic]

Whatever. If you don't keep your opinions to yourself markdelaney, you will find that a lot of people do not share your strange ideas.

[normsfletcher]

Got this on 7" fucking brilliant

[StigGT2]

i've heard a lsightly diff version- i might put it on

[twostrokedowse]

Top tune, can remember always dancing to this back in 1981 frilly shirts and baggy topped trousers...Oh dear!! still got this record though

[dezzyhunt]

this was fucking awesome very underrated band

[LibrettoDelMar]

didn't listen to that for years, all the memories...

[amaroca]

awesome, bought it then, still love it now ! thanks :o)

[ezramead]

Right on, colt79.  Super song.

[fouradrecords]

Recuerdo una versión rockcientoúnica de esta excelente rolita...muy bellos recuerdos de mi adolescencia...*****

[Chinupp]

Great song, still makes hair on back of my neck stand up!

Rumour has it they used to practice up at the stables where we used to keep our horses ;-)

[chienneTotale]

i love the song!!
