It’s 1987 on Off The Chart this week, the year music took some time off as the charts were full of remixes, cover versions, samples and just plain old reissues. Nevertheless, Steve and Julian take another wander through the forgotten hits of the week, play three tracks from a featured album and bring you the top five in full. Which snooker player did the Glasgow Herald describe as looking “not unlike Fat Boab”? Which hitmaking duo should have listened to our advice and called themselves “Stramash”? And who was the only person to complain about being sampled on Pump Up The Volume? Click Play to find out!
