Four more matches of lesser-known or lower-voted tracks from 1985.
This time we’ve got a YouTube playlist set up, starting with Youssou N’Dour
And matches involving Youssou, Indochine, John Cale, The Woodentops, Wayne Smith, Zazou Bikaye, The Dead Milkmen and The Chameleons.
First up it’s a spicy Senegal v France clash – Youssou N’Dour v Indochine.
Then John Cale’s stentorian balladry faces the indie-skiffle of The Woodentops
Match 7 sees Wayne Smith’s iconic riddim up against French-Congolese pop from Zazou Bikaye
And finally, the not wholly serious Dead Milkmen battle the really very serious indeed Chameleons.
There’s also a Spotify playlist which has lots of missing tracks (those B-Sides are obscure!) but has everything in match order.
