In the 1990s the success of Richard Blades midday show on KROQ “Richard Blade’s Flashback Lunch” inspired the release of “Richard Blade’s Flashback Favorites” through Sony/Oglio records. For the series I was privileged to work with some amazing artists in compiling the albums including Tears For Fears, XTC, Soft Cell, The Jam, Thompson Twins, ABC, Bananarama, Madness, OMD, The Bangles, Men At Work, Heaven 17, Psychedelic Furs and many more bands who brought us some of the greatest music of the 80s. On this page are the covers of all 6 of my “Richard Blade’s Flashback Favorites” albums.  And yes, they did come out on both CD and cassette (remember cassettes?).

Over the years Richard has played at thousands of clubs and events, from the biggest corporate get-togethers to major clubs from Spain to New York, from London to Los Angeles, and opened for some of music’s biggest acts from The Police, Depeche Mode and George Michael to The B-52s, Duran Duran, the Lost 80’s Live and has brought his special touch to each and every performance. His list of satisfied clients reads like a who’s-who of show business.
