Heard this playing at a coffee shop earlier and am now so glad I asked the barista for the name of this song. This honestly might be the best 80's synth pop tune I've ever heard.
Where Tony Mansfield is, there is a masterpiece. The more experienced will recognize also in this song the unmistakable "magic touch" of him. Even today "Cccan't You See" by Vicious Pink conquers everyone! When between the 80's and the 90's I worked as dee jay in some radios in my city, I systematically broadcast this song, always announcing it with extreme enthusiasm. In addition, this synthpopish pearl is very well suited to be mixed in the dance clubs. It's a hymn to the most beautiful memories for us nostalgic of the legendary eighties...
Thank you! Tony is amazing, he is so talented and such fun to work with, a laugh a minute, never a dull moment. That really helps when you are recording, we believe it also comes across in the final recordings. Where were you DJ-ing?
@@viciouspinkmusic - Wow, I'm honored for your answer! I worked in radio stations in Lombardia (Italy) always offering alternative synthpop / new wave music like yours. It was not easy initially to find feedback from the listeners, because the Italian general musical culture, yesterday as today, was mainly focused on the mainstream, but over the years I managed to make many people aware of 80's projects produced by Tony Mansfield, like you Vicious Pink, but also Search Party, Eight Point Five, After The Fire and others, including the lesser known songs of Naked Eyes, when the other radios always offered the usual two hits "Voices In My Head" and "Always Something There to Remind Me ". I believe, indeed, I am 100% sure, that no other dee jay in my region (and perhaps my entire country) has ever systematically broadcast the tracklists of the three New Musik albums like me (..if only Tony knew !!...) , the band I ever loved madly since 1978. Although my musical knowledge has progressed over the years ( today I mainly listen to futurepop ) I still remember those golden 80's, where the music reflected the carefree emotions of that era. Ah! I remember also that once a week I made a program called "Powerage", which consisted of an hour of mixed dance electronic music. Among my best works was the 12" version of "Cccan't You See" mixed with the 12" "Change Your Mind" by Sharpe & Numan...a combination that literally sends the listeners into ecstasy!...
@@MIMNED We like to reply to people personally. Thanks for the feedback, as you say it's not always easy to get it, for example we had chart success in the US and other countries and we didn't know till years later! Did you know we have a new double album called 'West View' ? out on vinyl and downloads, there are links on our channel. Have a great weekend!
@@viciouspinkmusic - Thanks to you for the kindness and empathy you show to your fans! It is really cool. I will not miss your double release which, I am sure, will be a masterpiece!!! I embrace you strong.
True! Chris Squire the bass player from Yes, said this to us when we told him we had started Vicious Pink Phenomena, "The cream always rises to the surface never give up" We never forgot his wise words! Chris Squire RIP love beyond forever X
VICIOUS PINK DESERVES A BIG AND SINCERE AND WARM HUG THEY KNOW HOW TO CREATE ENGAGING MUSIC YOU NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS SOMETHING MAGICAL IN WHAT THEY HAVE DONE THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC MAKES YOU FEEL AN EXTRAORDINARY WELL-BEING ON A MENTAL LEVEL THEN THE WONDERFUL VOICE OF Josephine Warden EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, PLEASANT THE COVERS OF THEIR RECORDS THEIR MUSIC BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER IN ETERNITY VICIOUS PINK ARE THE BEST THERAPY FOR HAPPINESS IN ONE WORD THE WONDER OF WONDERS
Super excited to find the 7" mix on here. It goes to show that this is a very well-thought-out pop song, with some crafty surprises.The lyric, Broke Up, pounces in a wild, unexpected way. By giving us the 7' version, we get to hear the song in a condensed format. And it is good. I am so happy that you are pushing your work. Kinga
@@viciouspinkmusic Oh... wow... that is wild. I have always assumed that you likely created extended versions and then if needed, edited to the 7". Kinga
The only vinyl that I saved out of hundreds. The cover just sums up the whole attitude and sounds of the 80s to me. When I first went to Starck Club in Dallas, 8:15 to Nowhere was playing. I was astounded at how otherworldly it sounded and I wanted it immediately. Found out title from DJ and bought it that week at my local record shop. 😎
Thanks so much! We love to hear these stories! We like to do otherworldly tunes too, check out Organiclon Sentient Ship on our channel, there is another mix coming soon. VP X
This should have been a huge hit in 1984/85 but sadly it wasn't. Shame really as the singer was beautiful with a beautiful voice and the production by Tony Mansfield was pure class. A great song though all the same
That was Spooky, there are a lot of different remixes though, most are on our Vicious Pink Expanded Edition CD on Cherry Red Records, Spooky is on there too.
I've been looking for this song for 30 years! Whoever's in charge of the algorithms today has my thanks 😊. 😊.
This music bring me a nice remember when i listen in the radiocassette and dance with my friends, you have transported to my good time ☺☺
Fabulous!
I love to sing to this. x
I am the proud owner of the 7inch vinyl version of this fantastic song, timeless
I have the maxi 12” single

Italo disco... not Synth pop
I don't think so... it's French!!!@@ezequielbalam9961
It’s 2023 and I’m obsessed with this song! 😂🎉❤
Me too
House Music before anyone had termed the phrase❤
Massive Respect.
Thanks sooo much!!
This takes me back to my teenage years here in Chicago listening to WBMX on Friday Nights and Saturday Nights with the Hot Mix 5 on my boombox
Time travel, to fun times, thanks Byron.

i love this song so much , brings back nothing but good memories 🎈
It is occasionally chilling how much very fine work just doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It really is talent + lottery.

Thank you! The 7" version was also a different recording to the 12" version, but recorded over 2 days at Farmyard Studio in Berkshire in 1983. VP. X

Wasn’t there another version with wolves howling on it?
That was Spooky, there are a lot of different remixes though, most are on our Vicious Pink Expanded Edition CD on Cherry Red Records, Spooky is on there too.
