Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Feargal Sharkey Someone To Somebody

'Someone to Somebody' is pop vocalist Feargal Sharkey's second single of 1986 and last single of the year to be released in the UK.

The b-side for the single 'Coldwater' was exclusive to the single, an instrumental written by Sharkey himself. The song was taken from Sharkey's self-titled solo debut album Feargal Sharkey.

A promotional video was created for the single which featured Sharkey performing the song in a restaurant.

The single failed to become a hit, peaking at number 64 in the UK. The single fared better in Ireland where it made it to number 30.

A special limited edition 12" single was made available in the UK which included a poster bag sleeve.

Feargal Sharkey - Listen to Your Father

Less than a year after releasing the ‘Never Never’ single with The Assembly, Feargal Sharkey released the single ‘Listen to Your Father’. The single was the first to be released on the Madness own record label after Madness had left Stiff Records to set up their own label. The song peaked at number 23 in the UK charts.

In some circles this single was basically a Madness single in all but the vocal as it was written by Madness Carl Smyth (AKA Chas Smith) and Madness play all the music. Like other Smyth songs such as Michael Caine, there's no clear meaning but somehow the words fit the music brilliantly; impressionism rather than literalism. A year later, autumn 1985, Feargal Sharkey was back with his eponymous debut album and its flagship single, the Maria McKee-penned A Good Heart.

Feargal Sharkey - Out of my System

Released in 1988 ‘Wish’ was the second solo album released by Feargal Sharkey, three years after his successful debut self titled album. The album was found to be somewhat disappointing by the general public and therefore was not as successful as its predecessor. The second single from the album was called ‘Out of my System’. This single release is not always mentioned in Feargal's Discography. However it did receive a UK and European release by Virgin records.

There was a 7 inch (VS1051), 12 inch and a 4 track CD single released which featured the following:

1 Out Of My System
2 Blue Days
3 Out Of My System - The Popstand Delmonte Mix
4 A Touch of Blue

I am not sure if a video was ever made and released of this. If any one has this I would be interested in seeing it.

The Assembly - Never Never

Sean Feargal Sharkey was born on 13 August 1958 in Londonderry (Northern Ireland) He found fame as the lead singer of the Undertones who was discovered by John Peel and became famous for their hit single ‘Teenage Kicks’, provided some of the best punk-pop of the late 70's. The band eventually fell apart in 1983, after which Sharkey teamed up with Vince Clarke of Yazoo in a one-off project called "The Assembly".

The plaintive "Never Never" single that came out of it was a massive hit which enabled Feargal Sharkey to show the power of his distinctive vocal style reaching number 4 on the UK charts. In 1984 he recorded the underrated "Listen to Your Father", followed in 1985 by his biggest success, "A Good Heart". This insistent tune established him as a potential major act, soon followed by "You Little Thief" and Sharkey's debut album, eventually produced by Eurythmics composer David A. Stewart.

Three years after his successful debut album Sharkey’s released his 2nd album in 1988 called ‘Wish’ The album was found to be somewhat disappointing by the general public so was not as successful as it’s predecessor. ‘More Love’ was the only single to be released in the UK reaching number 46 in the UK charts. However ‘Out of my System’ was released in Germany as a 12 inch single in 1988.
