Hello friend. Thank you as always for joining me. I am honored to have you along for the ride as we finally at long last conclude our extended look back at the year in music that was 1983.

Before we get the proceedings officially underway, let me remind you once we're done taking a look back at the most significant new music releases from November and December of that year.

I will continue on and take an extended look at the least significant new music releases

from November, December 1983, a previously successful pop band releases what is called

one of the great career sabotage albums of all time.

Patty LaBelle releases a song that provides a sample that is central to a number one hit for 10.

Count him 10 weeks over 20 years later, Barbara Streisand wins a golden globe.

After all these years of seeing them in secondhand record stores, I finally

get to hear what alien sex fiend sounds like. Also, what legendary punk band you definitely

know you might even love does a little career sabotage of their own taking a stylistic detour and releasing an album that starts off like this.

Who could it be? Who could it be? There is only... Well, there's two ways to find out. You could Google it. The other way to find out, the more fun way to find out

is by getting a seven- day free trial at my Patreon and

hearing the best of the rest of November December 1983 and all the rest of the

crap I got there too at patreon.com slash Mike Tully.

It's not Van Halen.

Kind of sounds like it though.

Patreon dot com slash Mike Tully.

I'll see you here and then I'll see you there.

Okay, you ready to start this show?

Your host to the evening is a really funny dude.

I forgot his last name, but I've seen him before it.

He's really funny.
