Friday Night (Floy Joy Song)
"Friday Night" (also known as "Friday Night in This Cold City") is a song by English band Floy Joy, which was released in 1986 as the second and final single from their second studio album '' Weak in the Presence of Beauty''. It was written by Michael Ward and Robert E. Clarke, and produced by Don Was. Background Speaking to '' Record Mirror'' in late 1985, Mike Ward said "Friday Night" was "about the frustration of wanting to break out". He pointed out that the song, along with album tracks "Penny In My Pocket" and "Chinese a-Go Go", all shared a similar theme, "There's a kind of vibe running through some of the tracks, where it's about one guy who's down on his luck. Rather than saying, 'Everybody dance!' it's about real life." Release "Friday Night" was released on 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl in the UK and Europe. For its release as a single, the six-and-a-half minute album version of "Friday Night" was edited and remixed by Mike Bigwood and Michael Ward. The song was given the e ...

Floy Joy (band)
Floy Joy was an English group formed in Sheffield, England, who recorded two albums and had minor success with several singles. History Floy Joy was formed in Sheffield in 1982 by brothers Michael (horns) and Shaun Ward (keyboards, bass and guitar). With Elana Harris as the vocalist, the band's debut single, "Answer Through Me", was released in May 1983 through Virgin. It was produced by Andy Hernandez. Harris left the band in 1983 and the Wards continued working on material together. Although they recorded with a few English producers, the output was shelved as they were not satisfied with their working relationships with the producers. The Wards admired the work of American musician and producer Don Was and were interested in working with him. They travelled to America to find the producer and, after tracking him down to a hotel in New York, played their demo tape to him. He responded favourably to the material and agreed to produce them at his studio in Detroit. The recordi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Number One (magazine)
''Number One'', initially rendered as 'No. 1', was a British magazine dealing with pop music. It ran for nine years and was aimed at a mainly teenage market. Overview The magazine was published weekly and ran from 7 May 1983 to February 1992. It was intended as direct competition to ''Smash Hits'', which was at its peak at the time.https://www.simplyeighties.com/number-one-magazine.php#.X85OiDEYB2Y Although ''No. 1'' contained fewer pages and less colour (at a similar price), the magazine claimed "our strength is our weekliness". One of the most popular aspects was that it published the singles and albums charts every week (obviously not possible for the fortnightly ''Smash Hits''). As the magazine was an IPC publication, it initially used the Top 75 singles & albums from its sister title, the NME (less a pop magazine more a 'rock-press inkie'). However, in 1985 it started publishing the MRIB (Media Research Information Bureau) Network Chart, as used for Independent Local Radi ...
