This is a new alternative mix of Red Guitars first single Good Technology.
To celebrate 40 years since Red Guitars number 1 Indie debut single “Good Technology” was released we issued a limited edition 12” extended remix red vinyl and new video, and had loads of fun on our second UK tour in two years.

40 years ago today, 22nd June 1984, our third single Steeltown was released. Here we are, playing it live on the BBC’s Whistle Test.
Two years ago we were in the middle of our first UK tour since 1984. We had a whale of a time! Seems longer than two years ago 😮 Here’s a selection of photos from the tour – O’Rileys dress rehearsal, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Hull, Brighton, London and Birmingham.
