Pepsi & Shirlie - All Right Now (Special Edition) (2011)

Pepsi & Shirlie were an English pop duo group formed in London in 1985 by two backing singers for Wham! 
The act comprised Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque (born 10 December 1958, Paddington, London) and Shirlie Holliman (born 18 April 1962, Watford, Hertfordshire), who had been Wham! backing vocalists. 
Holliman's original singing partner, Dee C. Lee, had earlier left the group to join the Style Council and later married its lead vocalist Paul Weller.
All Right Now is the 1987 debut album by vocalists Pepsi & Shirlie. 
The album gave two top 10 hits in the UK for the duo: "Heartache" (No. 2) and "Goodbye Stranger" (No. 9).
The other three singles fared less well, hitting below the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart (although "Can't Give Me Love" attained more respectable peaks. Pepsi & Shirlie produced two of the tracks themselves: "What's Going On Inside Your Head?" and "Crime of Passion".
Released in 2011 by Cherry Pop, the Special Edition of Pepsi & Shirlie’s 1987 debut album All Right Now is a digitally remastered and expanded reissue. 
It packages the duo's classic pop tracks with rare 12" mixes, B-sides, and a previously unreleased Stock Aitken Waterman track ("Who's Gonna Catch You?"), earning praise for its thorough archival value

Anne Clark - Pressure Points (1985)

After signing a deal with SPV GmbH, she released her first album, The Sitting Room, in 1982. 
On which she worked with Dominic Appleton of This Mortal Coil.
Clarke then began collaborating with keyboard player David Harrow, who she had known from the Warehouse Theatre. 
Their first release together was her second album 1983's Changing Places, followed by EP Joined up Writing in 1984.
Joined up Writing contained the song "Our Darkness", that was one of Clark's most notable successes. 
The song was put on a list of the 20 best industrial and EBM records of all time by Fact magazine in 2014. 
Fact describe it as "An influential proto-house record". 
After being moved to another Virgin subsidiary, 10 Records, Clark released the John Foxx-produced album Pressure Points in 1985. 
The album features the song Heaven which was considered a moderately successful hit across Europe
From the first track 'Heaven' the tone Anne sets is clear: rebellious and political. 
But even though her passion is clear and she definitely seems commited; the spark doesnt cross over to me. 
In 'Red Sands' she makes one of the most universal statements about 'war being bad' and she does it very direct. 
Some subtlety in her poetry would be better.
The rest of the album passes way too slowly, the music hardly ever interests me: these are the 80s characteristics I really don't like. 
Its not particularly enjoyable, moving or even interesting. 
Such a shame its not bland enough to function as background music.
I still admire her enthusiasm and how dedicated she sounds.


Tracks

1.  Heaven - 4:02
2.  Red Sands - 3:16
3.  Alarm Call - 3:55
4.  Tide - 2:26
5.  The Interruption - 2:34
6.  The Power Game - 3:06
7.  World Without Warning - 4:00
8.  Bursting - 4:14
9.  Lovers Retreat - 3:41
