I took the night off and ended chatted to Ben from Curiosity Killed The Cat and was winding him up about doing a show, which of course I had no intention of booking. Memories......... - -----Original Message----- ***NEWS*** The Very Best Of The Tube UMTV; Release Date: 11 November 2002 Double CD: 069 814-2 20th Anniversary of TV's Hippest Music Show To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Channel 4's legendary music show The Tube, Universal Music TV is releasing The Very Best Of The Tube - a double album of mainstream and alternative 80 's music legends. The Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, Human League and U2 all feature on this collection - proof if any were needed - that musically, the 80's were far more diverse and innovative than is often acknowledged. There will also be a TV special: The Tube - 20 Years On is scheduled for prime time on 7 November (Tyne Tees) and on 12 November (all other ITV1 stations) (see page 25). This takes an inside look at the personalities & controversies surrounding the show, with recollections from Jools Holland, creators / producers Malcolm Gerrie and Andrea Wonfor and Chris Cowey (TOTP) who was part of the production crew. The Tube was the biggest music show ever screened by Channel 4 - the stature of the show meant it attracted appearances by the biggest artists of the time and this album draws together the best material from the show's 5 year run. Madonna made her debut in the UK in 1984; Tina Turner's renaissance began on The Tube in 1983, and Paul Young remembers two consecutive live appearances that boosted his profile internationally. Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Housemartins, Fine Young Cannibals and Cameo all got their first break on The Tube. The unlikely but magical pairing of Jools Holland and Paula Yates, the chaotic mix of music and comedy and the 80's perspex stage set made The Tube a show unlike any other. The Very Best Of The Tube captures this perfectly. Full tracklisting on next page. For reviews, competitions and further information, please contact Pete Flatt or Nicola Browning at PPR.
