Games - Singles 1980-81

Possibly the shortest post ever on this blog, about an obsucre Wirral band that released 2 singles of stereotyped but pleasant synth-pop (in the vein of early Dalek I Love You and OMD):

First Law of Games (1980)
- First Law of Games
- Childsplay

Dance This Way (1981)
- Dance This Way
- Love Canal

They were also featured on ‘Street To Street Vol 2’ compilation (1981, see relevant post above) with the songs Unrest in the Real World and The Song.
More info about the band are welcome.

BLOG POLICY

All recordings are out of print to the best of my knowledge (hence the low quality of the audio files, being for the most part vinyl or cassette rip)), and thus are not diverting earnings from the artists. In fact the purpose of the blog is the opposite: to stir up interest in the artists of this particular period of time. However, if you are the copyright holder and want a recording removed, let me know and I will do so. Recordings are provided for review and evaluation purposes only; if you can find a real copy, buy one! Thank you for visiting. Mij
