I feel your pain.
Was Lynx Africa âa thingâ back then? Iâd argue it was more the scent of Insignia, or perhaps YSL JazzâŚ
This was the big end of night one at the disco at Penmaenmawr in North Wales on the summer school trips from Liverpool. Pretty damn balearic listening again
Aramis or Tabac, surely?
âŚand YSL Kouros too.
Jesus Iâve not thought about Kouros for probably 30 years. What a flashback, I used to smother myself in it as a teenager (and Paco Rabanne)
You may well be right⌠I was 13 in 86. More cumulative memories of comp.school years I guess⌠using at least half a can of something foul in advance of the disco!
The â84 disco in my neck of the woods was adorned with espedrilles, black baggy troosers and t-shirts with Chinese characters a la Breakdance. There was also a smattering of temporary hair dye - blue, red, green - worn by boys and girls alike. And studded gloves. Just the one mind. Never the pair.
Just looking these 80s bangers up, Kouros is still quite pricey. They must be due a comeback youâd think.
Itâs also a Harvey tune. I think he played it in his comeback to the UK (in 2012?).
1x Studded glove is a strong look whatever decade
