This is an excerpt of a longer feature on music of the 1980s (which also covered pop, heavy metal, rap, dance, soul and rock music) made by the Music Box production company.

The majority of the interviews contained are taken from wider features on these acts from the Music Box-produced indie music shows 'Rockin In The UK' and 'Transmission', some of which appear on my YouTube channel.

Originally broadcast on 'Don't Look Back - Music Through the 80s' on ITV on 3 January 1990.
