The decade of the 1980s brought with
it the final demise of the recorded "single" as a concept.
Despite several attempts to revive it with single music cassette
tapes and small limited selection compact discs, album recordings
clearly displaced single sales. If actual "singles" were
produced then their reason was to promote a specific album. A single
record would often have the same song on both sides, one in monaural and
one in stereo for radio play, but it was the album compilation of singles,
featuring various artists, and not intended for sale, that proved to be the preferred
format for promotional distribution to radio
stations. In fifty years the times had certainly changed for Perry and the
record industry, but his recordings throughout the 1980s
proved second to none from anything he had recorded in the past. For
terms of reference this index contains a listing of essential Como songs
during this period.
