Brilliant stuff. I've got the 12" version with the computer programme on the B side which, when fed into an old BBC computer, produced a video. Original and inspiring.
Omfg I’ve never heard this phenomenal jewel by KTP with the brilliant harmonies and the xylophone-like instrament❤️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️Absolutely a must have 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Okay, thanks!! If it's the one I'm thinking of, I DID see it here about a year ago. I'll have a look and see. I sure miss these days!! I LOVED the music of this era and the way my life was going back then!!!! I'm gonna HAVE to get going on that `80's compilation I've wanted to put together for so long!! I just have SO many other projects I'm trying to get done all at the same time!!!!
I was visiting a friend one day & he was playing the Naked album & I just fell in love with their music instantly. It was just so different from anything I'd ever heard before. Each of their albums have a different sound & style too. It would be great if they released at least one more album.
Thanks for pointing that out....now changed. Glad you liked the video. I used to have their appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test too but the tape went missing.
Hi again, I've just found a track on youtube by Nick Whitecross lead singer with KTP. It's a recent(ish) video added 10 months ago. It's called The Last Man in The Universe. Thought you might like to know in case you've not come across it.
Did that version have the locked groove at the end of side 1? So far, I liked their first two, but "Likely" is a bit too commercial. If I ever listened to "Sugarland", I have NO idea what it sounds like. Having 51,000 records, I still have SCADS of them I've never heard, yet!
Okay, thanks! No, I've never heard of it. The only KTP stuff I have is 4 of their albums, "Naked", "What Noise?", "Certain Things Are Likely", and "Sugarland", and bunch of 12's and 7's from their first 2 albums, and a single they did before the first album. I never even heard of them until, one day in the early `80's, I went to a local record store and saw "Naked" in a cut-out bin for 55 cents! It looked interesting, so I bought it and have liked them, or at least that era of them, ever since.
@RedVynil I actually have the 12" with the bbc computer program and did indeed load the program into a friends bbc computer in the mid 80-.. i even did an overdub to a video tape som I had the video with sound. It was of course very grafikal. Sadly I have no idear what so ever to what happende to the video tape with the overdub.
Yes me too,well musicwise anyway. Wasn't satisfied with the Government at the time nor the creeping rise in selfishness that came with the 80s. But certainly the music from that era was excellent. So many great artists around many still making music to this day.I include Scritti Politti & Prefab Sprout (who have just released a new album, well Paddy Mc Aloon anyway). Hope it's the one your looking for. KTP were recording some new material a couple of years ago but not heard anything since then.
Well, the whole decade started out great for me. I finally got into a band & got a bit famous, I finally got a girlfriend & got my cherry popped. My band was making some of our own incredible music! I started going to college & met loads of great people there. Some of my fave bands of that era: XTC, Art Of Noise, Laurie Anderson, Police, Fixx, Rupert Hine Tangerine Dream, KTP, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Cheap Trick, Todd Rundgren, Prince, Mike Oldfield, Men At Work, Gary Numan, Madness, etc..
@@svrsvr6183 Thin White Line. Yes, we've got quite a few things on YT but, there's at least two bands with that name on here. Some of our songs are: Under The Blades Of Love, We're Not Animals, Balancing Act, Pink Dots From Mars, Compulsion (there's also a video of the recording of that before I got in the band and we were called, Younglust, the flip side was called, "Everyone You Meet", which we also did as TWL so, you can hear the difference between how they sounded with Doug on drums and how they changed when I took over on drums..), Flowers Of April, Superman And That Girl; Cancer Deal With The Venusians (but, everyone calls it, Towers Open Fire), Take Me To The River, Smokestack Lightning, The Babylon Kids, Strange Glances, Claptrap, Problems With Electricity, Magnet Of Bad Luck and a number of others. Most of them are posted by a friend of the band, Mike Psyche. I'm pretty sure our first two albums are posted here, too.
HEYYYYY YOU! 🎵HEY YOU, Get ready, get on your feet, get into gear and hit the street HEY YOU, Get moving, it's not too far, you're looking good so come as you are HEY YOU, You never know what you see when you're through the door with the 7-3 Never seen nothing, no, nothing like this place Never been, no, no way, not ever, no Never seen no place, nowhere similar Not like 73! HEY YOU, get ready, get on your feet, get into gear and hit the street It's you they wanna see, so get down to 73 Get down to 73 Hey you, get down to 73...🎵
This is pure genius!
That synthpop/New Wave/gospel sound is brilliant!
The best band in all of new wave.
I love the sheer silliness of this band.
I've just heard Big Man Restless for the first time. What a bizarre and amazing track that is!
I just love this band xx
Brilliant stuff.

Still amazing💫🌲🖤

It just doesn't get better!!
AWESOME!! :-) Can't get this tune out of my head... 'there's nothing you can do...' :-)
My Fav' 'Kiising the Pink' Single :)))
Genius indeed
Very underrated band, only remembered by most for 'The Last Film'.
Lest us forget “One Step”, a No. 1 hit in Italy 🇮🇹
“Stand Up” too

Look on bandcamp, they have one in this millennium and it's decent.
An amazing act!
Thanks for pointing that out....now changed.
Glad you liked the video. I used to have their appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test too but the tape went missing.
Thanks, Lennart! I already found it here last summer. :-)
Love it thank you.
How many versions of this song are there? This is my favorite.
I don't know what a locked in groove is to be perfectly honest. As much as I love their music, I wouldn't remember after all this time.
The xylophone rift reminds me of the "Casualty" theme tune
Casualty probably pinched it off KTP
@ursomtl It was also on it's own 12" single which had a computer program video on one side.
Way to go Joey!!
is it a good record???i use 2 think so...not 2 sure now......thanks 4 postin anyways

Has anybody ever decoded the video on the flip side of the 12" single? I'd love to see it some day!!

A band that should have been more successful than they were. One of the best imo.
Gospel Wave

Go simon!!!
TV Show is From ITV1's "Number 73"
Is this from 1984?

I was part of a voice percussion improv band in the nineties with Jon Hall ( keyboard) KTP...we’re looking at reconvening when lockdowns finished!

Tell me the name of your band. Any numbers on youtube?

This isn't on the first album, was it only released as a single?
11 years later ... no it was on their second album ‘What Noise’ (1984)
No.73?
HEYYYYY YOU!
🎵HEY YOU, Get ready, get on your feet, get into gear and hit the street
HEY YOU, Get moving, it's not too far, you're looking good so come as you are
HEY YOU, You never know what you see when you're through the door with the 7-3
Never seen nothing, no, nothing like this place
Never been, no, no way, not ever, no
Never seen no place, nowhere similar
Not like 73!
HEY YOU, get ready, get on your feet, get into gear and hit the street
It's you they wanna see, so get down to 73
Get down to 73
Hey you, get down to 73...🎵
It" s mono??
TV in the UK didn't broadcast in stereo until the late 1980s.
Sounds very Depeche Mode
Their sound goes broather , check out broken body or desert song , the last film, dm could not pull that of
Depeche Mode were probably influenced by KTP
Odd looking bunch, aren't they?
Probably better in the studio. It's a bit messy sounding to be honest.
