“Love Plus One” is a 1982 single by the British new wave band Haircut One Hundred from their debut album Pelican West. It was the band’s biggest hit in their native UK, where it reached No. 3 and was the group’s only hit in the US, where it peaked at No. 37 in February 1982.

This song owes its American success to its video, which was directed by David Mallet. British bands, especially those with heartthrob lead singers like Haircut 100, often made videos to air across Europe, but in America videos were rarely seen until MTV launched in 1981. When they did, many of their videos came from Mallet, who used lots of striking imagery, like David Bowie as a clown in “Ashes To Ashes.” For the “Love Plus One” video, Mallet went with a tribal motif set on an island of savages. Heyward appears in a loincloth swinging from a rope, and various beauties show up in equally skimpy dress. This stuff played very well on MTV, which aired it quite often at a time when their selection was lean.

These are only about a third of my record collection that I had kept (and survived) over the years. Some are lost through the process of moving, and the damage of having it out in a fucking hail storm (not my choice, but my roommate's at the time -- long ass story), but the ones that are listed on my Discogs are the most accurate because I keep track of them on there AS SOON AS I get them in my hands.

These are the collective ones: 1. Depeche Mode 2. Nick Heyward and Haircut 100 3. China Crisis 4. Hubert Kah 5. Duran Duran 6. Pseudo Echo (some are missing) 7. Terry Hall (Specials/Fun Boy Three/Colourfield/Terry, Blair, and Anouchka) 8. The Cure and New Order
