My video pick for 1979 is Mi Sex with “Computer Games”. Yeah, I know they were Kiwi’s but we claim all the good ones and these guys were good!

I gather the ones marked with an asterisk are local acts. You might want to add Lynne Hamilton to that list. On The Inside is the theme to Prisoner and written by Alan Caswell.
Thanks Dale, good pick up. I’ve fixed that now.
Cheers, Mark 🙂
