Yes, would be an album (cassette or vinyl) or a mixtape that he'd recorded off the radio.
I spent a long time churning through the online singles and album charts for the period, but as I only got into music later I don't actually know 90% of the songs!
Good observation that leaving a band who weren't doing much at the time could be a gradual process - I'm too used to modern bands announcing their splits. In the end I decided 'Communards' sounded better in the sentence, and referred to them despite it being a probable anachronism (nothing online goes beyond 'they were formed in 1985'.
