Comment:

A slice of mostly mid to late 80s jangly roots rock. A lot of this stuff was in heavy rotation in my house back in that day. Had some fun digging this out over the weekend. Probably enough leftovers for another mix or two.

Great stuff.
Anybody happen to know when the term "jangle" became common for this style of guitar? The sound has been around, but I don't recall the term being in much use before a few years ago.

don't know most of this, but I always enjoy a good jangle. World Party were criminally underrated.
