The Mobiles On TOTP.
To all of you who have an obvious appreciation of this record, !!! I grew up `round the corner from Morrissey! Not sure if theres any bearing! Other than his left of centre sense of music, interest! But i would bet a pound to a penny, that he liked this one!! I loved it and eventually became reunited with it via King- Bee records!
1982 was a great year
Another great song that should of been number one only made it to number 9 1982)
Thankgod I still have this on Vinyl, looks like I’ll have to wire up my soundcard and rip it.
two of them lived in bexhill went to bexhill downs school
eastbourne the capital of caberet
They came from my hometown – Eastbourne – remember seeing them play this live!
This was VERY popular in my undergrad discos in 82… in a double act with ‘I’m In Love With a German Film Star”…
IN-OUT my MIND goes… Happy days
This was VERY popular at my undergraduate discos in 82… along with ‘I’m In Love With a German Film Star’
thats one talented machine
This superb pop single reached No9 in the UK charts in February 1982,and yet can I buy it on iTunes?Nope.Now That’s What I Call Disgraceful!

They dont make em like this anymore
Yorkie.

@gahctep Agreed 100%
“Sind sie allein in Berlin?”
A great Song of my early Years.
MoonRubicon from Berlin Germany..
The drummer’s renovating my basement at this very minute with another mate of mine!!!!!
Hi Chris, when I was at school me, my friend Anne-Marie, and I believe John Peel on TOTP, all loved this. It is very well executed. Does the song mean anything in particular?
great original song.
The way the synth cuts in
the middle still sends shivers
down my spine Awsome
song
I haven’t heard this song on the radio since 1982. All these ’80s revival radio shows play the same old crap while missing out on forgotten classics like this, they should do some research!
Proves the eighties were the best!!
I believe the band hailed from Eastbourne…..commonly known as ‘God’s waiting room” on the South Coast of England (the average age of the population is around 97yo, and all wear elasticated beige clour clothing)!
The Mobiles also had a minor hit after this with a song called “Patrners in Fiction” – I had both on 7 inch singles at one stage but I can’t find this last hit anywhere to download!
LONG LIVE EARLY 80′s MUSIC!
Early 1982, thankyou for posting.
didnt they take their name from the school mobiles they had lessons in an also wrote music? nevertheless a gr8 song that takes me back to an era where music was at a peak.. late 70s early 80s . think this was 83..
Her name is Anna Marie garrett. My mates Sister, she comes from hastings in East Sussex, I’m not sure now but think she might live in Seaford West Sussex.
