Do you have the tears for fears one?
@@blairlipscomb7378 Sorry I do not have that
This is great, FGTH, Sal Solo, Tears For Fears, those were the days!
Ironic the man interviewing them is the same man that banned the playing of their first single on BBC Radio 1
Yeah, its kinda odd. They must have remarked on it at the time.
@@ScottishTeeVeethe clue is in the competition question they set. TBF the decision to ban Relax helped to propel it and the band to global success so I think in a way Read did them a massive favour. There certainly doesn’t seem to be animosity between them in the interviews.
the 80s looked so much more real, real people having real conversations and debates and having different opinions without chopping eachothers heads off.
Very true. Now it all seems rehearsed and fake
Live TV was better than today's heavily edited quick soundbites rehearseased to within an inch of thier lives stuff.
But plenty of fakery and bullshit back then as well, this band when they played live, actually sang along to a backing track
And yet at the time all the cool for school brigade was moaning that the only 'real' thing about the 80s was The Smiths lmao. Little did we know just how shite things could get.
Holly is just so enigmatic - you just stare at him
Wow tremendous bands on set 😮
Incredible footage. Thankyou so much for this.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris
very lol banter ! great uploads ScottishTeeVee ! ,yours, politely
Glad you enjoyed!
I used to watch Saturday Superstore as a child and remember some episodes. This is March 23, 1985, and I'm certain on the next show March 30, 1985 there was a song called Smelly Feet and I'd like to hear how it goes, and see who sang it.
I’m only here for Tears for Fears
Mike Read the presenter here was the first one to say he would not play the song Relax anymore on his radio show in 1984. Then the BBC followed. The rest is history.
It's surprising to me that the lads are on his children's program here.
I guess the band realise that Mike did them a great service by banning the song, maximum free publicity for them and their song. Mike as a music nut, may have enjoyed the fact that he is pulled into music history for the ban. It's nice to see that there appears to be no animosity between the band and Mike, he even makes a joke about Relax at 2:21
Apparently holly Johnson has said that it wasn’t Mike who banned the record it was his producer who decided to drop it. It was a good P.R. move by ZTT director of records Paul Morley who said the record was banned although the record wasn’t actually played that morning when it was decided to drop it, by saying the record was banned only helped the record push up the charts, it was the BBC that actually banned the single but Mike got the blame.
Surreal. The music panel looked like a combination of the 'Usual Suspects' meets 'Crime Watch UK'.
Thanks for watching and commenting
@@ScottishTeeVee You're awesome.
"We're a long way from home..."
Is that Mike Read? Didn't he ban Relax? And here he is chatting to them... LOL
Mike and the band know it was great publicity for both, win win
Nasher voice is sound like he's 60 yrs old man (He's now 60 in this 2023 😅). But his voice when singing was totally different. I always love his solo works especially "Prostitute and Cocaine" song.
Answer of the question Who banned Relax : Mike Read, presenter of this show himself. How did they reconcile?
Probably easy, I'd have thanked Mike for the additional free publicity,
So funny 🤣 banned your 🎵 but come on my show.
doesn't tears for fears get interviewed? where is that part
I did not record it, of I would have uploaded it
Whose the heavy metal band they reviewed ? Terror Blade ?
Terraplane
Do you have the April 6th episode of Saturday Superstore with a-ha?
No
Funny how those bands were listen to by teenagers 12, 13 ... I was one of them then , what does 12 years old listen to nowadays...
My Tik Tok FGTH welcome to the pleasure done 15 seconds of. Ooh aah ooh ahh ooh ahh..
FGTH vs Kids 1-5
Thanks for watching and commenting
Why he interviewing them when he band relax ?
The act of Read banning relax brought FGTH the kind of publicity money cant buy and propelled the song to become a million seller. This clip is a year later and Saturday Superstore was a huge show in its day, literally everyone who was anyone in 80s pop music appeared on this show at least once. I mean just in this clip you have two of the biggest bands of the decade on the same edition.
Eh calm down, but they do though don’t they aye?
Was this before or after Mike Read had Relax banned on Radio 1?
After
Even as a child I found Crow tedious and unfunny
Mike Reid banned relax from his char rundown how ironic, nothing wrong with the pistols I'm a big fan and collector, seen them live six times such cheek 😆
You can see here that the band have no problem with Mike, they must realise at the time that he did them a favour with the ban
@@ScottishTeeVee did not want any sour grapes, Mike wanted to be professional about it in the longrun,
@@markgreet3543 Agreed 🙂
@@ScottishTeeVee some said he was boring, but I disagree liked his pop quiz show,even had a boxed version, not kept, but you never know may buy it on net one day thanks for your reply
