Procession

**Procession** is the title of a song written and recorded by British new wave band New Order. It was released as their second single on Factory records in September 1981.

The B-side of the single was another new track Everything's Gone Green, later released as a single in its own right by Factory in Benelux countries. Both tracks were produced by Martin Hannett, but neither appeared on New Order's debut album *Movement* released in November.

**Procession / Everything's Gone Green** has since been classified as a 'double A-side' single (see Official Charts. & discogs.com).

Procession, first played by John Peel on 21 September 1981, reached no.38 in the UK charts in October [1] and no.1 in the Independent charts. It also reached no.48 in Peel's Festive Fifty of 1981[2] and no.30 in the The All-Time Festive Fifty Of 1982.[3]

The sleeve design was by Factory collaborator Peter Saville, based on an original Italian Futurist design motif. There are nine variations of the sleeve available; all have a grey background, with graphics in black, red, blue, brown, yellow, orange, green, aqua or purple.
Mud

**Mud** were a British pop/rock group initially active between 1966 and 1979. They had a string of hit singles in the UK, including three number 1s,  between 1973 and 1976, all through their work with songwriters/producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and the RAK record label. Two albums *Mud Rock* and *Mud Rock Vol.2*, also went Top 10 in 1974 and 1975 respectively. While their style was influenced by 1950s rock and roll and rockabilly, they also incorporated elements of glam-rock.

Their last single to reach the UK charts was a cover of the Bill Withers song Lean on Me which reached No. 7 in the UK in December 1976, coinciding with the end of a rather stagnant period for British pop and the rise of punk and new wave.
Release Me

**Release Me** (also known as 'Release Me (and Let me Love Again)' or 'Release Me (Let Me Go)') is the title of a song originally written in 1949 although best known in pop culture for the version recorded by British artist Engelbert Humperdinck, a UK no.1 in March 1967.

Humperdinck's debut single, Release Me b/w Ten Guitars remained at the top spot in the UK for six consecutive weeks during March and April 1967, and is famous for keeping The Beatles' single Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane from going to no.1 for three of those weeks.

His follow-up There Goes My Everything reached no.2 in June of the same year (held back by Procul Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale), while a third single release The Last Waltz gave him his second and final no.1 in September. [1]

Release Me became the title track of Humperdinck's debut album which reached no.6 in September 1967.[2]
No-One Driving

7" front cover

**No-One Driving** is the tile of a song written, recorded and released by John Foxx. The song originally appeared on Foxx's debut album *Metamatic* and was also released as his second solo single in March 1980, both as a single 7" and a limited edition double 7"pack.[1]

## Single release

The single version of the song is slightly different from the original version featured on the *Metamatic* album, which contains the line "*Someone's gone liquid in the sheets*", changed to "*Someone's gone missing in the sheets*" for the single.

The exact date of release is unknown although John Peel played Mr No as a new track on Wednesday 19 March,[2]and the single entered the charts at no.32 on 25 March.

Foxx appeared on Top of the Pops on 27 March 1980 for a mimed performance of the song.

Paul Young

**Paul Young** (b.17 January 1956) is a British singer, musician and songwriter. Formerly vocalist with Streetband and the Q-Tips, Young went on to have a successful solo career in pop music with his distinctive "soul" voice starting with his 1983 no.1 single Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home), a song first recorded by Marvin Gaye in 1962. A string of hit singles followed as well as two no.1 albums *No Parlez* (1983) and *The Secret of Association* (1985).

Young enjoyed ten years of success with CBS records before being dropped in 1993, therefore branding him as a prevalently "eighties" artist even though he has continued to perform and record since then.

He sang the opening lines of the Band Aid single 'Do They Know It's Christmas', allegedly as a replacement for David Bowie who was unable to attend the recording session.

## Cover versions

As well as the hits Wherever I Lay My Hat, Young also recorded many other cover versions often of previously little known songs, and turning them into well known hits. I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down, Love of the Common People, Come Back and Stay, Every Time You Go Away and Softly Whispering I Love You are all cover versions.

His debut album also includes a cover of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart, a surprising choice at the time. In 1991 he had a top 5 hit with Italian artist Zucchero with a partly translated version of the Italian song Senza Una Donna (Without a Woman).

Midge Ure

**Midge Ure** (b. James Ure, 10 October 1953) is a British singer, musician, songwriter and recording artist from Lanarkshire, Scotland. Although most noted for his role as frontman of the group Ultravox from 1980, and as a solo artist from 1982 onwards, he had also previously played in and written songs for various groups including Slik, Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy and Visage. He also founded the Band Aid charity supergroup project with Bob Geldof in 1984 and co-wrote the song Do They Know It's Christmas?.

As a solo artist he scored a number one hit in the UK in September 1985 with If I Was and no.2 parent album *The Gift*. More albums were written and recorded with Ultravox after that, and after the group dissolved in 1988 Ure continued as a solo artist, finding particular success in Europe. An Ultravox reunion in 2008 brought him back to live performances with the band and the release of one last studio album *Brilliant*.

In more recent years he has played live with supporting musicians, performing songs from his extensive back catalogue. In October 2023, Ure celebrated his 70th birthday with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. [1]

Mastermind

**Mastermind** is a long-running BBC television quiz show, first broadcast in 1972. The show is based on a tournament system with eats, semi-finals and finals. In each show four contestants face challenging questions in two separate rounds, one on a specialised subject of the contestant's choice, the other testing general knowledge. Contestants sit in a black leather chair, lit by a solitary spotlight in an otherwise dark studio. The setting and theme music have become trademark features of the show.

It was first broadcast on BBC One on 11 January 1972 with the host Magnus Magnusson who continued until 1997. During his long run, Magnusson coined the catchphrase "I've started so I'll finish", said when the buzzer signalling the end of the round sounded during the reading of a question. He was succeeded by Peter Snow, Clive Anderson and more famously by John Humphrys, who hosted the show from 1998 until retiring from broadcasting work in 2021. The show is currently hosted by Clive Myrie (b.1964)

Classic *Mastermind* has given rise to the spin-offs *Mastermind International*, *Junior Mastermind*, *Sport Mastermind* and *Celebrity Mastermind*, the latter featuring various pop-culture personalities as contestants. *Mastermind Champion of Champions* was also broadcast in 2010.

Raoul and the Kings of Spain

CD cover

**Raoul and the Kings of Spain** is the title of the fifth studio album by British group Tears For Fears. It is also the second album to be released by core-member Roland Orzabal without fellow founder-member Curt Smith who had left the group in 1991.

Orzabal wrote all the tracks, mostly with Alan Griffiths. In its subject matter *Raoul and the Kings of Spain* delves into Orzabal's own Spanish heritage. Raoul was originally his first name given at birth before being anglicised by his parents to Roland (Orzabal later gave the name "Raoul" to his first son, born in 1991).

The album was not a big success in native UK, or even in the USA, but fared better in continental Europe.

Richard Skinner

**Richard Skinner** (b. 26 December 1951) is a British broadcaster known mainly for his work with BBC Radio 1, BBC 1 TV and later with Capital FM and Virgin Radio. He started working for the BBC on the *Newsbeat* news programme in 1973 which he presented until 1980 before moving on to music based programmes.

For his newly assigned regular slot on Radio 1 beginning on 22 July 1980 he stated in Radio Times: 'They say playing records on the radio is like riding a bicycle - once you've learned how to do it, you never forget. It's seven years since I last " disc-jockeyed " for a living, so I'm as keen as anyone to discover exactly how this show will sound! But one thing is certain, good music takes first place, so I'll be continuing where Peter Powell left off, spinning some sounds you're sure to enjoy, and presenting the New Album Chart each Thursday at 6.0 pm."

From 1981 he presented the *Rock On* magazine show on Saturday afternoons and *Round Table* on Friday evenings. From 1983 he also presented *Saturday Live*, and in August 1984 was one of the presenters of the 15-hour *Rock Around the Clock* marathon, which included presenting New Order playing live for *Saturday Live* in a TV and FM radio simulcast. In September 1984 Skinner took over the Sunday afternoon *Top 40* show from David Jensen who had moved over to commercial radio.

On BBC television, he presented both Top of the Pops (December 1980 - August 1985) and the re-vamped Whistle Test (1984-1986), and also opened the *Live Aid* concert at Wembley Stadium in July 1985. Bob Geldof had previously announced the creation of the Band Aid project for the first time on Skinner's Radio 1 show in 1984.

He moved to Capital Radio in 1986, but returned to Radio One in 1988, eventually hosting *Saturday Sequence* until 1991. In 1993 he joined the newly founded Virgin Radio and hosted the station's first programme in April of that year. He also hosted the opening show for Absolute Radio 70s in November 2011.
Olivia Rodrigo

**Olivia Rodrigo** (b.20 February 2003) is an American actress, singer, songwriter and recording artist.

She first became known in pop culture for acting in series for Disney Channel. In 2021 she released her debut single Drivers License which went to no.1 in many countries, including the UK where it remained at the top for nine weeks. Her debut album *Sour* also went straight to no.1 in the UK in May 2021, together with another single Good 4 U making Rodrigo the youngest solo artist ever to score Official UK "chart double". [1]

On 01 September 2023 she had her third UK no.1 with Vampire, reaching the top after nine weeks in the charts.
Multi-Coloured Swap Shop

**Multi-Coloured Swap Shop,** also known as ***Swap Shop***, was a UK children's television series that aired on Saturday mornings on BBC One between 02 October 1976 and 27 March 1982. The show, which took up most of the Saturday morning programming slot, was hosted by Noel Edmonds with Keith Chegwin, John Craven and, later, Maggie Philbin.

The show was based on a phone-in system whereby young callers would offer items to be 'swapped' with others. It also included guest appearances by celebrities, actors, pop stars etc. These would also answer questions phoned-in live by viewers, as well as offering their own 'swap', usually a personal possession. Cartoon series were also integrated into the programming.

Swap Shop has been considered ground-breaking in its format of a varied content live children's television programme, usually lasting over three hours, with audience participation via the phone-in and use of outside broadcasting. Chegwin would host a live itinerant outside broadcast in the 'Swaparama' section, where again youngsters could put up objects for swapping.

## Seasons

Multi-Coloured Swap Shop ran for a total of six seasons, each beginning in late September/early October, running to late March, with the exception of the first season which ended in late February 1977.

No Regrets (Robbie Williams)

*For the Tom Rush song of the same name, covered by The Walker Brothers and Midge Ure, see No Regrets.*

**No Regrets** is the title of a song recorded by British recording artist Robbie Williams. It was released on 30 November 1998 as the second single from his second studio album, *I've Been Expecting You* (1998).

The recording also features backing vocal by Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys and Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy.

### No Regrets/Antmusic

As a single No Regrets was effectively a double A-side with a cover version of Antmusic, originally released by Adam & The Ants in 1980.

The single entered the UK singles charts no.4 the week after its release (outsold by new singles by Bryan Adams/Mel C and Jay-Z) when Cher's Believe was at no.1 [1], while the success of the single helped maintain the parent album's top 5 position for a number of weeks and over the Christmas period.

## Bonus tracks

Various CD single releases of No Regrets also featured the following tracks:

* Deceiving Is Believing - remains exclusive to this release
* Sexed Up (demo version) - track eventually released on *Escapology* (2002) and as a single in its own right
* There She Goes (live) - cover version of The La's song (audio & video)
Rage In Eden

*Rage In Eden* is the title of the fifth studio album by the British group Ultravox, their second since Midge Ure joined the group. It was released on Chrysalis records on 11 September 1981.

The album was a much anticipated follow-up to the *Vienna* album of the previous year, which had sold well also in 1981, when the title track had been a big chart hit. Preceded by the release of lead single The Thin Wall, the album went some way to consolidating the success of the predecessor and the band itself, entering the UK album charts at no.4 on its release. A second single The Voice was also lifted from the album.

As with *Vienna* the album was co-produced by the band with Conny Plank, who also engineered the recordings. *Rage In Eden* continued with the band's trademark sound of mixing state-of-the-art electronic music with traditional rock instruments. The album is also characterised by its relatively long tracks, in contrast to the emerging 'synth-pop' electronic music songs. The two singles were in fact edited down for 7" releases.

Mike Oldfield

**Mike Oldfield** (Michael Gordon Oldfield, b. 15 May 1953, Reading, UK) is a British musician, composer, recording artist and record producer. He first came to fame with his groundbreaking album *Tubular Bells*, the first release on Virgin records in 1973, composed entirely by Oldfield and on which he played the majority of instruments.

Practically a recluse, Oldfield continued with the instrumental suites format for his next two albums *Hergest Ridge*(1974), *Ommadawn* (1975) and *Incantations* (1978) before moving on to explore different musical directions, further to a drastic personality change in 1979. He also enjoyed Top 20 success with the singles In Dulci Jubilo, Portsmouth, the Blue Peter theme and even a 'disco' single Guilty.

Subsequent albums *Platinum* (1979) and *QE2* (1980) brought in shorter, more conventional compositions and vocal arrangements using guest musicians and mainly female vocalists. A major commercial breakthrough came with the single Moonlight Shadow and the parent album *Crises*(1983). Oldfield enjoyed mixed fortunes after this intense period of recording and touring, and during which time relationships with the Virgin label, and in particular with director Richard Branson, worsened. His final album for Virgin Amarok was a cacophonic uninterrupted hour-long composition, Oldfield's retort to Virgin's request for a "Tublar Bells Two".

Sure enough, after leaving the label, Oldfield released *Tubular Bells II*, his first album for Warner, no.1 album in September 1992, which also spawned the Top 10 single Sentinel. He continued to record and release new material in the 1990s, including *Tubular Bells III* in 1998. He also completely re-recorded the original *Tubular Bells* with state of the art technology in 2003.

In 2008 he released an orchestral album *Music of the Spheres* in 2008 and a more conventional rock album *Man on the Rocks* in 2014. His latest album, *Return To Ommadawn*, reached no.4 in January 2017.
