- "Clean, Clean" is a song composed by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley. It was recorded first by the latter for his band Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club in 1979, and later by the former two as The Buggles for their debut album The Age of Plastic. It was released as the album's third single on 24 March 1980. This version also features a young Thomas Dolby on keyboards.
The most '1979' thing you will ever see
I had this album - it was my favorite of my new wave / punk albums. This song just rocks! and Bruce Woolley is so adorable, strange they didn't become so much more than they rose up to. With a young Thomas Dolby on keyboards, wow, this is awesome new age GOLD.
I got this Lp and I agree: is the best new wave Lp
so few people here. My uncle showed me this like 20 years ago. SOOOOOOO awesome
Im suprised this band didnt blow up. Thomas Dolby is killing those keyboards he is so awesome!
I think why they broke up was because of the band's direction, plus they had contract problems with CBS Records.
Thats thomas dolby? He looks so young here.
The beggining is so dark i think the keyboard guy blinded me with synths ; )
Thank you so much for posting this!! I worked at a rock station in NYC when this music was arriving and feel so lucky to have been there. I actually have the album signed by the band! Miss those days & feel sorry for this generation, they have no idea what they missed.
An awesome melding of talent that would later lead to great things. Bruce Wooley and the Camera Club was the inception of many powerful future bands, but they were a formidable force in their own right, and performed some incredible music. If I hadn't been working in a record store in 1979, I might never have heard these guys, which would have been tragic.
Tight. Klass track.
saw them Live! with the great band 2020, the Sinceros and the Beat (American Beat, not the English Beat) in 1979/1980 at the NY Palladium. It was aired live on the radio which I have somewhere..thanks for this post
AMAZING!!!!!
WW9 was Thomas Dolby's first ever performance of own material in public.
This is amazing!
Brings back memories of my cbgb days in lower Manhattan in the 70s
i like this ...
Thomasino D is rockin on those keyboards, man!
First live vid of the band I've seen, they deserved so much more success....
Awesome I didnt know Bruce Wooley wrote this first. Dope song! Love it!!!
He didn't write it first, but probably recorded it first.
It was written by the three Buggles when it was a trio with Woolley in it. They split before the Buggles' first album but agreed that they could both record the song separately.
Amazing
The Woolley to Buggles/Dolby pipeline is a good demonstration of how punk evolved into the 80s as new wave. Same songs/composers/performers but different executions that change the genere.
Remember seeing this on Whistle Test and thinking it was cool at the time, a young TMDR on keyboards as well, Bob Harris can keep his C&W

@@DJRETROPALTALK thanks it’s a great version too but this is the one I was thinking of ua-cam.com/video/nWJz-gsihN0/v-deo.html
not seen this since they performed on Look Hear in 79
A more raw and energetic version as opposed to the Buggles more polished version.
Is it me or does Bruce look like a tidier version of Paul Di’anno?
トーマス・ドルビー若い！
The illegitimate son of Scott Baio and Fee Waybill?
The Buggles version on amphetamines...
I like it better than the buggles
Neat, but the Buggles did it way better
