Bucks Fizz - I Hear Talk (1984)

Never one of my favorites really, more for the sleeze and NRG crowd. At 112 BPM, and virtually unknown in the US since it was never released here as a single, its pretty obscure. Yet, 25 years later, it kinda stands out as a quality classic release, better than most garbage that comes out. I didnt play play it much. Still....on the list. Released on 15 December 1984, the single co-incided with a much-publicised bus crash the group experienced earlier in the week. While the group were returning from a gig in Newcastle England, , their tour bus collided with road works and careened off the road and injured the members of the group as well their entourage. Member Mike Nolan was badly injured and the group were inactive for several months.  As a result of this, promotion for the single was minimal and the song failed to chart as highly as had been expected, reaching No.34 in the UK Charts, despite it being seen as one of their strongest ever songs by fans.
