Gold Legion Prepping Vintage '80s Titles

November 24, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

A pair of LPs from EMI's 1980s catalogue is coming out on CD through the Gold Legion label.

The first up is Don't Suppose, the solo debut album from Limahl in 1984. The uniquely coiffed, uniquely named singer (whose stage name was a rearranged version of his real surname, Hamill) had recently left (or had been asked to leave) the band Kajagoogoo (of "Too Shy" fame). Don't Suppose was not a success in itself, but yielded two U.K. hits, "Only for Love" and the theme to the film The Never Ending Story (1984). U.S.-only dance mixes of those tracks are included as bonus cuts, and an expanded booklet will include liner notes and rare photos.

From that same year is Wotupski?!! from John "Jellybean" Benitez. Jellybean was one of the best-known remixers of the 1980s, owing to his early professional and personal partnership with Madonna. (She actually contributes vocals to "Sidewalk Talk," a U.K. Top 20 hit from this album.) This disc is augmented with four remixes and an expanded booklet. (For some reason, Gold Legion's site says the booklet will only be available directly through them.)

Pre-order each set here and here and hit the jump for track lists.Limahl, Don't Suppose (Gold Legion GLEMI 562212, 2010 - originally released as EMI PLML 1 (U.K.)/EMI America ST-17142 (U.S.), 1984)

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Just looking at the hair, my first impression was, "Who does this guy think he his, Kajagoogoo?" Then I started to read the article and it all fell into place...
