We Fade to grey…🎭

I am obsessed with that piñata look Rozz had in the early 80s. Was done originally in colors but black & white works just fine.

Visage - Fade To Grey: The Singles Collection by The Vinyl Digest Visage - Fade To Grey: The Singles Collection 40th Anniversary Happy Release Day Visage’s ‘Fade To Grey: The Singles Collection’ is a seminal exploration of synth-pop. Melding moody electronics with New Romantic flair, it showcases the band’s pioneering sound. The title track, an iconic anthem, epitomizes the 80s with its haunting melody and innovative use of synthesizers. #visage #stevestrange #rustyegan #midgeure via YouTube https://youtu.be/eI5peF_LY-A

In the early 80s, I briefly stayed with Judith Frankland @judithfrankland in London, a fantastic designer who made outfits for Steve Strange and appeared in David Bowie’s “Ashes To Ashes” video alongside Bowie himself with other “Blitz Kids” and fashion luminaries, Steve Strange, Darla Jane Gilroy and Elise Brazier. She told me tales of the Blitz Club and of her days of designing for Steve Strange and using him as her model. The Blitz Club was in Covent Garden, London from 1979 - 80 and was home to the “Blitz Kids” who were nightclubbers there on Tuesday nights. The club was located between two art colleges (St. Martins and Central School). As a result of its proximity to the art colleges, it attracted many students who were aspiring fashion designers there. The hosts were Steve Strange and Rusty Egan @rustyegan of Visage and the club was responsible for launching the New Romantic movement in London. Many notable fashionistas and dandies who later became big stars, were regulars there. A dress code of the “the weird and wonderful” was strictly enforced at the door, a policy that was put in place by Steve Strange. This was not an elitist system like Studio 54 in NYC, but rather for the protection of the nightclubbing guests against homophobic thugs. The hosts had previously done “Roxy Music and David Bowie nights” on Tuesdays at Billy’s club in Soho and later took over at the Blitz wine bar which gained much better success as an iconic club. David Bowie, gender-bending, cutting edge fashion and a desire to express it with rebellious fervor, were the common themes and passions of the Blitz Kids and the New Romantics. Some other noteworthy attendees aside from the aforementioned included Boy George, Marilyn, Siobhan Fahey, Sade, Spandau Ballet, Midge Ure, Philip Sallon, Stephen Linard, Stephen Jones, Princess Julia, Martin Degville, Scarlet Cannon, i-D magazine co-editor Perry Haines, and many others. Derek Ridgers @derekridgers, Andrew Holligan and Terry Smith were responsible for most of the photos… 📷 1/10: Sheila Rock @sheila_rock_photographer 👨🏻‍🎤⚡️🖤⚜️👩🏻‍🎤 🔲 🔳 🔲 #BlitzClub #BlitzKids #NewRomantic #NewRomantics #SteveStrange #RustyEgan #PostPunk (at Covent Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEZGFgukl5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tony Stark, presumed dead, presumed not-Iron Man, needs to make some weapons to take on the Mandarin’s mansion. A non-chain store that takes cash and doesn’t ask questions is just what Tony needs.

Steve becomes intrigued by the mysterious mechanic that keeps buying things from his store, but when he becomes more aware of what Tony the Mechanic is up to, is Steve ready to be this close to the world of superheroes again?

Summary:  Should they destroy one Earth to save another? That’s the dilemma the Illuminati have right now. Aware of his own past problems with empathy, and in order for Dr. Strange to understand the full implications of the decision they have to make, he decides to visit one of the Earths that might be on the chopping block.

Earth-1219 is a world without superheroes, without villains, without knowledge of its own magic. But is it a world worth saving? Strange is about to find the answer in an unexpected place: a little hardware store, where that universe’s Steve Rogers works.

(Set between New Avengers (2013) #2 and #3.)

I finally got this beauty of a Vinyl after ages, I got lucky too and got the red vinyl. :D

Honestly this is one of my all time favourite albums, and would highly recommend anyone to go out and buy the CD

[jamieroxxartist]

👉 There sure were a whole lot of us who were inspired by him, many, many years ago in the cool clubs in Detroit. He lived on the other side of the world, but we all thought he was awesomely cool!

RIP Today, Feb 12, 2015 – #SteveStrange, Welsh singer (b. 1959) walked on.

Happy anniversary to Visage’s eponymous debut album. Released this week in 1980. #visage #stevestrange #fadetogrey #tar #mindofatoy

[thevinyldigest]

10/11/1980 - Happy Record Release Day #visage #stevestrange #midgeure Wikipedia: „Visage is the debut studio album by the British new wave band Visage. It was recorded at Genetic Sound Studios in Reading, Berkshire and released in November 1980 by Polydor Records.“ „Visage were a British synthpop band, formed in London in 1978. The band became closely linked to the burgeoning New Romantic fashion movement of the early 1980s, and are best known for their hit “Fade to Grey” which was released in late 1980. In the UK, the band achieved two Top 20 albums (Visage and The Anvil) and five Top 30 singles before the commercial failure of their third album (Beat Boy) led to their break-up in 1985. The band has seen various line-up changes over the years, all fronted by vocalist Steve Strange, who resurrected the band name in the 2000s. In 2013, the most recent line-up of the band released Hearts and Knives, the first new Visage album in 29 years. The band’s fifth and final album, Demons to Diamonds, was released in 2015, nine months after Strange had died following a heart attack.“ #cratedigger #nowspinning #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #vinyloftheday #record #records #album #recordcollection #recordplayer #lp #33rpm  #audiophile #onmyturntable #vinyl #vinyljunkie #instavinyl #80er #80ies #80s #80smusic #80svinyl #80srecords #synthpop #newwave https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyfGklNe8p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
