Eurythmics are featured in the newly published “Classic Pop Presents 1983”. There’s an in depth feature on Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) as it turns 40 years old.

Certainly any music feature on 1983 cannot possibly ignore the 40th Anniversary of Eurythmics album Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) and Classic Pop do not disappoint in their new Classic Pop Presents 1983 special, priced at £11.99 and out now.

Eurythmics are given a 5 page special and a deep dive into the album as well as an interesting track by track analyis of the album, there are also various other mentions throughout the issue!

It was a year of arrivals. Forty years on, we pay tribute to the twelve-month period that welcomed the likes of Madonna, Wham!, Bananarama, REM, Tears For Fears, Paul Young and Cyndi Lauper to the world via a golden run of game-changing debut albums. Add yet more seminal long-players from Talking Heads, David Bowie, Eurythmics, Culture Club, Yazoo and more, and here was a period when pop music truly was unstoppable.

Elsewhere, we trace The Police’s year as they were busy becoming ’the biggest band in the world’ thanks to their fifth, centrepiece LP, Synchronicity, and the mammoth world tour that followed. Also that year, Uber-producer Trevor Horn’s mighty ZTT record label started up, as did the now-world famous NOW compilations – both explored in this issue.

To add to that, there’s exclusive interviews from some of the stars of 1983, including Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert from New Order, Heaven 17’s Martin Ware, Kajagoogoo’s Nick Beggs and Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, plus we examine the stunning sleeve art that delighted our eyes over the year. Lastly, we curate our ultimate 1983 playlist.

Get on board as we celebrate a peak year in planet pop!
