First in a series of mixes consisting of classic pop & rock records made between 1980 & 1989.

The kinda stuff I’d tape off the radio or buy with my pocket money as a pre-teen school kid; the pre-cursor to my life-long obsession with this music thing. Records that I still like today. Feel good vibes!
