Day 45

A double dose of smooth 1982 grooves from Columbia House.  As I was wont to do more and more often, each album was purchased primarily for one song:

• from All This Love - the title track initially though "I Like It" soon wormed its way into that part of my brain which stores favorite songs after the album arrived and I played it a few times
• from Hey Ricky - the uncharacteristically upbeat, danceable "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" though the album turned up the surprising "Race To The End", a vocal take on the Chariots Of Fire theme.

All This Love - DeBarge (1982)

Hey Ricky - Melissa Manchester (1982)

In a separate Columbia House package, I received this Commodores hits collection.  The primary attraction of the set was the single version of "Lady (You Bring Me Up)", an incredibly bouncy and positive love song that somehow only managed to hit #8 on the Hot 100.

All The Great Hits - Commodores (1982)

Picked up two soundtracks at the Wherehouse:

• Even though I already owned a copy, FM was a double album in the cut-out bin at a price I could not pass up.

• My ignorance of Peter Gabriel's discography has been documented on this site in prior entries but this time out I knew exactly what I wanted.  Gabriel had reworked a few of his older songs for inclusion on the soundtrack of Birdy.  One of those was an instrumental version of "Rhythm Of The Heat" simply titled "The Heat" and that alone is why I bought the Birdy soundtrack.

The Melissa Manchester and FM albums are still on the Vinyl Wall.
