 Ebay is absolutely rammed full of retro 80s goodness. But some of it is in the music section, some in the toys bit, some in the vintage area.... Wouldn't it be grand of there was a site that scoured ebay for ALL 80s items, and brought you a comprehensive list of bargians all in one place? Bringing you items that you may otherwise miss when you have to search all over the place?
Well now there is! 80sNos.com - The 80sNostalgia / Ebay site. It scours ebay every minute of every day, just like a freaky version of Max Headroom, and slaps the result onto your screen quicker than you can say "Crackerjack!"
It rocks!

Four of Finland's most successful heavy rock vocalists have recently created a stir by forming an operatic rock super group, who originally went under the working name of Hell Divo. Named as the Northern Kings, this dynamic symphonic rock quartet is welcome alternative to classically trained vocal groups Il Divo and the 3 Tenors.
In October 2007 they released the album Reborn which featured symphonic orchestral rock interpretations of eighties classics ranging from Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms, David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, Lionel Ritchie's Hello, Cutting Crew's I Just Died In Your Arms, Tina Turner's We Don't Need Another Hero, and Radiohead's 1993 song Creep.
"Initially, their was a lot of uncertainty about the idea of creating a vocal super group with four of Finland's biggest names in heavy metal on the same level as the classically trained vocal groups like Il Divo," says Erkka Konhonnan, the producer of Northern King's ‘Reborn' debut album. "Since the release of the album in Finland, the album has sold gold and the band has proved so popular; that a new album is in the pipeline for release in November this year."

I've taken the decision to bring back the 80s Sound Files that used to be here 2 years ago. These include theme tunes for most things in the Classic TV section, plus a mixed bag of various sound clips from the shows themselves.
You can access the downloads from here or by clicking Sound Files on the main menu.
Hurrah!
