I remember paying Pearl in the Shell over and over, and it was the first album I bought after I borrwed it from my girlfriend at the time!!

Yes I remember him, but as I am ancient it doesn't seem that long ago since he was in the charts!

[jaydj]

yeah i used to listen to his tunes when i was still at school...god i feel old now
His first 2 albums were my fav
Im sure i heard he was still doing Live gigs with some other 80's groups

glad im not the only oldie on here. I loved good old Howard and I loved Pearl in the shell too. I might have to get a cd at the weekend.

Saw him about 3 years ago at an 80s 'Here and Now Tour'. He was absolutely fantastic and really got the crowd going. It was a top gig all round actually, Kim Wilde, Paul Young, Martin Fry, Heaven 17, Nick Heyward,T'Pau and China Crisis were all on. I'd recommend it to any others oldies like me out there!! :-)

His 'No One Is To Blame' takes me right back to a really bad period in my life, and reminds me of someone I no longer see, but still think of often.

Still play The 12" Album quite often, a great collection of synthpop.

I've been a fan of Howard Jones ever since he released New Song in September 1983.

I'm going to his 25th anniversary concert in London on September 20th, 2008.

Can't wait.

I am going to the 25th too - spooky!
