[New Wave/Synth Pop/Pop/Electronic] Here is the British trio PhD with their 1981 self titled first album: \"Ph.D\". Excellent New Wave album that was HUGE in 1982 around Europe but not in the states. People in Europe actually classify this album as one of the best albums from the 1980's and hey i can't lie it's pretty good. A shame it really didn't make an impact in the united states, the synth work on these tracks is excellent and it surely would make Giorgio Moroder jealous in my opinion, lol. The band took its name from the initial letters of its three members last names; Phillips, Hymas and Diamond. The group's members were: Jim Diamond, Simon Phillips, and Tony Hymas, and they had a UK Top 10 hit with my favorite track on the album titled: \"I Won't Let You Down\" (Track 5) in April 1982 although the song had been a hit the previous year throughout Europe. Sadly, vocalist Jim Diamond died from a pulmonary edema while he was sleeping on October 8th, 2015. This album was released under WEA Records, Voiceprint Records, and Atlantic Records '81.
(Btw, this is the 2008 CD re-issue of the album if anyone was inclined to know, Also the fact that the music video for \"I Won't Let You Down\" has a million something views is amazing, you can watch that vid through this link: https://youtu.be/7UHXEQSXaZ4)
