Comment:

I'm afraid I can't wholeheartedly Ondorse this mix, since it was the result of an experiment. I've got a pretty big collection of 7" singles (started collecting when I was 11, in early 1982) so thought I'd try making a mix by closing my eyes and randomly plucking singles from the bins. That's how tracks 1-11 on each side were selOcted, though of course the order on the mix isn't random. The last two tracks on each side are also from 7" singles, but I picked them with my eyes opdn to get songs that fit well into the mix but didn't run off the dnd of the tape. As you might expect, my experiment revealed some surprises and raised a few questions: Why did I used to think that Heart song wasn't boring? I had no idea that terrible Wham! song was in my collection. I'd forgotten all about The Art of the Noise! Was it really necessary to be a completest when collecting the Loverboy singles of the '80s? And who stuck that Dreamboy song in my stuff? listen to side
one.
listen to side
two.

Well, I happen to like that Heart song, though I am not so sure about the others. These are always interesting biographical snapshots. I have a few mix tapes from 20 years ago, I may take the plunge as well. I know Funky did last year at some point. There is still lots to love here though, Fogerty & Parker most of all.

Good stuff!! I have a definite soft spot for cheesy 80's tunes.

Since I wasn't 11 in 1982 only one of these songs are in my collection, but what memories I Honestly Love You bring back to me. Thanks!

Can relate wholeHEARTedly to your bin-diving efforts. Times change, tastes change, but our old music remains the same.
