Propaganda - Jewel/Duel

[@bensolomon1495]

Jewel is an unstoppable force, possibly one of the most mind-blowing pop singles I can think of. The sound of a breaking wave... , a new generation..

[@profmartin1967]

Proud to say I have this 12 inch in my record collection.

[@didierpuisset4955]

Fantastic vinyl record !! Don t sell it !!

[@jayclarke6672]

me too! these memories? we get to take them with us forever...right?

[@ianhepburn5779]

the scream at about 5:10 is the best in any record ever.

[@trudig4258]

So much better than the pop version that got in the charts. Used to dance like a loon to this when I was out clubbing in the 80's!

[@flip1081]

I remember blasting my Akai Stereo with my LP record playing this song. Love the 80’s!

[@angelpierro1896]

My Aunt had their cassette tape in Spain mid 80’s. I used to hear both of these songs over and over. Then decades later thanks to youtube I found it again. I’ve always loved groups like Propaganda and Depeche Mode.

[@emmanuelsimon8874]

Masterpiece of the 80s

[@djserious9341]

Don’t know how I missed this until now. Incredible how well they combine amazing energy with one of the strongest choruses I have hear. Brilliant!

[@2112jonr]

Get the album, A Secret Wish. It's an underground 80s classic, excellent album with not a duff track on it.

[@scottphillips1970]

See ? This is what can happen when people give a shit about the music they're creating. If you haven't done it already, treat your ears to the album. You won't regret it !

[@2112jonr]

Agreed, A Secret Wish is cracking, one of its kind.

[@shb8124]

Still one of my favourite albums of all time and no doubt always will be, there are very few that I think are pretty flawless but 'A Secret Wish' is defo nigh on perfect. A thing of utter glory.

[@didierpuisset4955]

The best song of Propaganda !! The masterpiece of Propaganda !!

[@shb8124]

Still just awesome, perfect, amazing 🖤🖤🖤

[@simonmglmcdonald8763]

Best 12”” ever and loved seeing Propaganda in 80s in London amazing

[@stephendennis5911]

Love both versions

[@petehoskins1267]

The second part (Jewel) (From 5.10) was the backing music played at the finish for all of the Australian V8 Motor Racing programs / episodes on free to air TV during the mid 80's. It took me a long time to find the artist / song back then. Stunning music. !

[@koini11]

Part of it used to be on the BBC theme for Rallying too. Great tune!

[@2112jonr]

@@koini11 YAY! Finally, someone else who recognises it :D

[@alejandrofrias9992]

Im in the Twilight zone again! Excellent track tho!!!!!!!

[@robossuperchannel9434]

There is another mix of this song on Spotify which was the mix used for the opening credits.

[@tonnycarvalhofilho983]

Suzanne Freytag perfect in Jewel 🤗🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@evandromadeira3114]

Propaganda is an incredible band!... And *"Duel"* is undoubtedly a great masterpiece!... I love this song since 1985. But tell me, please... is this a 2-track single?!...

[@robertharty6547]

Any version still gives me the shivers 71and holding November 26th 2018

[@anaclaralopez1064]

Una banda excelente .

[@raulmoralesalcobert583]

PROPAGANDA son parte de mis recuerdos musicales de mediados de los 80...¡ Erais fantásticos......¡

[@dennis_mennis]

A Secret Wish, one of the best albums ever.

[@robmccall4336]

This feels like the birth of a new genre of music.

[@ulrikesextro4187]

Powerful like hell.

[@dlamiss]

THE best song of the 1980s

[@didierpuisset4955]

Exactly , and the masterpiece of Propaganda !! I have the vinyl record....

[@marlomallari4577]

LOng Live Wave Music ! It molds my best years in my life! And the Songs Remains The Same! A single cut won't hurt at all. the second only mskes you wonder. the third will have you on your knees

[@bingsinatra5283]

Still love this after all these years. Check out 'Jewelled', i still reckon it's the definitive version ( play it REALLY LOUD).

[@cheekyboy37]

100% banging tune... Thank you !!!

[@douglasmilton2805]

A big 👍 just for your pseudo! 😅 Tony Handcock fan.

[@clivedxb]

A rare example of an 80s 12 inch that eclipses the original.

[@JorgeSantos-ik4qq]

ahahahahahahah

[@paulsmith9106]

2023.....still effing powerful

[@rayzaau7040]

There was a lotta crap during this time, this was something different. Moved my interest in music to a different place. Nowadays electronic music is soul less, this was pretty special. Second scott phillip comment from 6 months ago.

[@dumpsky]

aw c'mon... there was shit-loads of good stuff during that time and today's electronic music is certainly not soul-less... the music-sphere is vast, dude... :-)

[@MrEricm60]

Ce mixage rock et New Wave est un régal!2 versions différentes pour une même voix.Un R-E-G-A-L.

[@didierpuisset4955]

Je confirme !!! Un monument des 80's...

[@Danimal1577]

Such a great jam! :D

[@rick93ful]

perfeita

[@berniebernie8515]

Absolute....zum Abregen! Siggi Freud hätte seine Freude!!

[@Pablo-zo9xy]

Great Stephen Lipson

[@fernandoedwardssalcedosang1983]

La letra me recuerda siempre que cualquier droga empieza como dice el coro primero no pasa nada, segundo eres fantastico,tercero te tiene de rodillas y finalmente empiezas a sangrar y ella empieza a gritar ... ...

[@WilliamStrijks]

Somewhere on KZbin they played this version live

[@bargbarguese1205]

SUBLIME

[@noeljohnson5892]

I fell in love with this band in the 80’s in Austin Texas at the nightclub Halls. The title Jewel has me reanalyzing the song. Any chance it’s the story of an uncut diamond getting carved into a so-called perfect shape to be worn as jewelry? Are we so arrogant as to believe we understand all the places where life exists? Is this genocide?

[@richardgoddard37]

Nah, it just rhymes with Duel. They did many variations including Do Well, Jewelled, and Bejeweled.

[@simonmglmcdonald8763]

I live for the music change at 5:15

[@faustolopezmagan4825]

temazooooo

[@compfox]

Our children would be hopelessly overstrained by these songs.

[@HappyCynic]

That's because they have talent. Modern kids aren't used to that.

[@annescholey6546]

West Germany at its best

[@didierpuisset4955]

The piecemaster of Propaganda...

[@luizaugusto935]

BATTLE
