Ep54.5 Jan 83 Echo and the Bunnymen, Dire Straits, U2, Eddie Rabbitt, Toto, Icehouse

It's a biggie! Yes, in the second half of Playlist 54 we finally meet Toto on the plains of Africa. U2 also get chilly on New Years Day but not before Dire Straits warm us up again with a bop round the pool. Echo and the Bunnymen spare us the cutter, Eddie Rabbitt links up with Crystal Gayle and we end by meeting another of Australia's finest exports, Icehouse! (And yes I do mistakenly say February 1982 at the end. Whoops, of course it's 83!)
