Spirit of Radio BBS

Wow what a find! I am in no way affiliated with the guy who is selling this on E-bay, but thought that someone on the Spirit of Radio may be interested. When was the last time you saw a CD version of Platinum Blondes "Standing in the dark". I think I purchased mine around summer of 1984. What a find! From what I understand from a friend is that there are only a couple of thousand of these.

Here is the link to it.

I just might buy it to add to the collection.

Platinum Blonde sucks and I don't ever remember them being played on "the spirit".

sorry, I remember sitting around and listening to them on CFNY. a group of my guy friends purchased the albumn, and a 24, and spent a couple nights listening to it. when I first heard them I thought they were canada's answer to U2, and they had song really good tunes. it was only with their marketing to girls and their sappy videos that I lost interest.

Who cares!!!!

i saw Platinum Blonde at the gas works they where a Ploice cover band at the time and they where dreadfull... was shocked to hear them on cfny about a year latter

I agree they did suck

I'll admit to buying a couple of their albums c.85-86. I think I have "Standing in the Dark" on vinyl somewhere in the basement. A couple of their songs were interesting.

I remember thumbing through a bookstore and scanning through a compilation book put together by the Toronto Star rock critic, forget his name, and he raised the same issue. Where they for real or were they just another bubble-gum band?

Personally, I think they had something. Too bad it was drowned out by record-company packaging.

they are still my favourite band today! mark holmes you rock! your biggest fan ever!

Finally got around to checking the basement... guess I liked them better than I remember. In addition to the vinyl- 2 CDs- Standing in the Dark and Alien Shores. You say the first is rare?

Once again....who cares!!!!!

Obviously people other than you. If you're not interested in a particular subject- skip the thread.

Ok Anon....thanks for your message and yes let's crush people's opinions. If anyone disagrees with anything...please move on. Yes, very insightful, intelligent commentary from Anon.

Really? Looking up the page, I see two "Who cares!!!!" from you and some mildly supportive comments from me. So, which one of us is doing the "crushing"?

And, as for insightful, intelligent commentary- where exactly within "who cares!!!!" would I find some?

It's OK, Anon....Your admiration of Platinum Blonde says it all.

I didn't say that I admired them, but I'll bite.... says what all?
