Judging from this very early performance of Planet Earth from the Rum Runner in Birmingham: I'd say their look was influenced heavily by Japan. Looks like a lot of fun---damn!! What I wouldn't do for a time machine so I could be dancing in that crowd in front of John!!!

Spandau? *spit*, the two bands in the two different locations were running parallel to each other, im sure they would both accuse each other of ripping each other off style-wise back in the day.
Myself, like others can see the Japan influence there, but the Roxy Music one even more so.
Great clips! The "Get set for Summer" from July 81 makes me chuckle, seeing just a handful of fans, in what looks like someones back garden is fab.

David Bowie, Roxy Music, Japan, Velvet Underground ... And I dont think the look was stolen at all. It was what everybody was prob. doing at the time. ... Although I do think Nick took something from David Sylvian of Japan. ... Later when the 80's progressed they got away from the new romantic look, and got into the whole style thing ... the good style at the time. lol ~ "Wolf" www.myspace.com/ddredcarpetmassacre - 2,000 FRIENDS TODAY!!
