Get set for Yazoo

Yazoo issue their live album Reconnected Live this week. The recording documents the live performances by Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke who got back together again in 2008 to perform tracks from their 80s albums, Upstairs at Eric's, You & Me Both and a few others.

Curiously the album features a bonus track of Yazoo's forgotten title music to the even-more-forgotten BBC Saturday morning kids' show Get Set For Summer. The live show was presented by 80 s Radio 1 DJ par excellence Peter Powell and one Mark Curry (later of Blue Peter) and was on telly in the "summer" months between 1981 and 1983, apparently, although here at LiM we have very little recollection of it. See here for a bit more info.

Peter Powell: now manages "talent".
