Hello and Welcome Back...

Just wanted to wish listeners / readers of this awesome site a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..

Hope you enjoyed the music.

I Also want to specially thank everyone who has donated to this site using the "Shout me a Coffee" button on this page, without you guys, i wouldn't be a able to buy the storage space needed to run this site....

so a huge...

On a Personal note..We are still surrounded by fire. Its calmed down at the moment.
The Northerly winds that were predicted, that i wrote about on the last post came late, so just as it was taking hold, the southerly kicked in...Sadly that fire has consumed the towns of Bilpin (about 1hour north of me) and Lithgow (about 2 hours west of me)... Each day, i check on the map and each day it edges closer..
Fingers crossed it rains and the firies can get a hold of it...


Once again ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

See you Next Year.. Stay Safe

ROXETTE MIXTAPE (Remastered)

Hello and Welcome Back... A Lost Tape has been revived.

A few posts back, I was writing about some Tapes and Discs i had found while looking for a album Cover... This is one of the Tapes

I made this Mixtape in the early 90s.

For me, the early 90s was a difficult / fun / scary / sad time.

My Grandfather had a series of heart attacks.

I left home for the first time and moved in with my then girlfriend.
Her name was Jodie Horne. She was a fun, exciting, gorgeous girl and i often asked myself "whats she doing with a guy like me"?..

It was around this time Roxette released their album 'Joyride' and for me, life was a joyride for a while.

Sadly it ended with said girlfriend, a mix of self doubt & trust issues. We were together for nearly 1.5 years?

After splitting with said girlfriend, i was living in my car for a while and moved once again, closer to where i was working at the time.

Found a awesome granny flat to live in..

Grandfather passed away..

As i sat in my car one afternoon, listening to this tape, tears streaming down my face, thinking how I lost my girlfriend, my Grandfather & my Family (they didn't want to talk to me at the time), I wondered what was to become of my life...

I then asked a friend to move into said granny-flat. She was to become my future wife.

Things Will Never Be The Same....

Remastering this album was difficult to say the least, not only the memories of that period in time but the recent passing of  lead singer "Marie Fredriksson"..

There were a few tears shed..

Moving on....

TRACK-LIST
01.  Things Will Never Be The Same  (From the album 'Joyride')
02.  I Could Never Give You Up   (From the album 'Look Sharp')
03.  Goodbye To You   (From the album 'Pearls of Passion')
04.  Chances   (From the album 'Look Sharp')
05.  The Look   (From the album 'Look Sharp')
06.  Dressed For Success    (From the album 'Look Sharp')
07.  Do You Get Excited    (From the album 'Joyride')

14.  Listen To Your Heart   (From the album 'Joyride')

Sadly the song 'It Must of been Love' was not added due to time constraints of the tape and i was sick of hearing this song on radio all the time, stunning track but it was flogged so much.

DOLLAR - WHO WERE YOU WITH IN THE MOONLIGHT (Lost Hit)

Hello and Welcome Back... Love this song

Stumbled across this track by accident and i was instantly transported back to 1979/80.

Listening to my Nans Transistor Radio on 2WS / 2UW (Sydney, Australia) this was a song that i loved but had forgotten.

Didn't recognize it at first but the 'Soooooo Saaaaaad' part of the chorus jolted my memory and i was back to easier days.

The band 'Dollar' was a U.K trio of David Van Day and Canadian-born Thereza Bazar.

They had a string of hits in the late 70s / early 80s including 'Mirror Mirror', 'Shooting Star' and this song (among others)

Who were You With in the Moonlight went to #14 U.K singles charts and was available on the album 'Shooting Stars' (track 5 / Side B, song 1)

Take a Listen, such a magic song...

THE KINKS - COME DANCING

Hello and Welcome Back...

Not very electronic but this track reminds me a little, of the band 'U.K Squeeze'... Very crafty lyrics that tell an actual story.

The Kinks (also a U.K Band) released this song back in 1982 and was from the 1983 album 'State of Confusion'

The song was inspired by memories of the singers older sister, Rene, who died of a heart attack while dancing at a dance hall.
The lyrics, sung from the perspective of an "East End barrow boy," are about the boy's sister going on dates at a local Palais dance hall.

Take a Listen


THE KINKS - COME DANCING  (1982)  (Original Video)


TOP OF THE POPS VERSION



LYRICS  (Go on, sing along :))

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local pally
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing, it's only natural?
Another Saturday, another date
She would be ready but she's always make them wait
In the hallway, in anticipation
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing
That's how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said come dancing
My sister always did
My sister should have come in a midnight
And my mom would always sit up and wait
It always ended up in a big row
When my sister used to get home late
Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the pally
My sister stood and cried
The day they knocked down the pally
Part of my childhood died, just died
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band
And there's a car park where the pally used to stand
My sister's married and she lives on an estate
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait
She knows they get away with things she never could
But if I asked her I wonder if she would
Come dancing
Come on sister, have yourself a ball
Don't be afraid to come dancing
It's only natural
Come dancing
Just like the pally on a Saturday
And all her friends will come dancing
Where the big bands used to play

RIC OCASEK - LEAD SINGER OF 'THE CARS' HAS DIED

Hello and Welcome Back.... Sad news

Lead singer of the 70s / 80s band 'The Cars' has died.

Ric Ocasek (Richard Theodore Otcasek) was the lead singer for most of the bands history which started around 1976 with Benjamin Orr (dec) swapping vocal duties

One of the Best 80s albums (in my opinion) was Rics 1986 solo album 'This Side of Paradise' which spawned the hit 'Emotion in Motion'.

The other excellent albums that are similar are 'The Cars - Heartbeat City'

  & Benjamin Orr - The Lace

All are highly recommended albums...

Ric was an amazing singer/ music producer/ musician. He was only 75 years young.

RIP

CASSETTE - A DOCUMENTARY MIXTAPE

Hello and Welcome Back.... Interesting video

A look at the Audio Cassette and the Compact Tape making a comeback....

Be quick, not sure how long the video will remain on Youtube..

CASSETTE - A DOCUMENTARY MIXTAPE

For me personally, i grew up with audio tapes.

Probably the best thing i can say about tapes (apart from sound) is depending what type of tape you used, depended on the type of sound you got or the amount of detail the tape reproduced.

The choice was staggering, you had TDK, BASF, Fuji, Sony, Maxell, AGFA, Memorex, Phillips, Technics, Scotch and Thats / Triad to name a few

My Favorites were 'Thats', Sony & TDK

Then you had a choice of Normal, Chrome and Metal, so again the sound changed from standard to very detailed depending on the type of tape you brought.

For me, my number one choice was 'Thats' Chrome Cassette's, seriously, the sound from these tapes were mind blowing, so good. (see below)

The only problem at the moment is the lack of Cassette Decks.

You can buy decks that are 20-40 years old, Made in Japan but parts failing (mostly rubber belts) or new decks made in China, no Chrome / Metal position selection and No Dolby... and bloody expensive for what they are...

Although, i still have a decent cassette collection, i will stick to my CD's, with less working parts and decent sound, i will wait for the day when the faithful Audio Tape makes a full comeback ...

HINT, HINT SONY

1987 - CL3SSIC TRACKS Vol1 (Remastered)

Hello and Welcome Back... Not a bad album this, Owned on Cassette.

Back around 1987, I brought this album on cassette from my local 'Caltex Service Station', only it had a different cover, Same songs.

The cover that i remember was Yellow with squiggle marks (think 'Slippery when Wet') sign.

Sadly, I cant find the Album cover i remember so will have to do with this one... Excellent, song selection.

Released on J&B Records  (also known as 'Solid Gold Hits')

This version is CD Quality, nearly all songs are from various CDs, Remastered / Auto-leveled so it sounds 'Mint'
The only difference will be some songs are 'Album' versions and not 'radio' versions. Radio versions were shorter to make them fit on the album.
Also Note, older albums such as this one has sometimes have Vinyl mastered singles to CD on rare occasions, It was how the record company's brought out some CDs.


Tracks to Ponder Over =
#05  Tommy Tutone - 867-5309 Jenny (how many times did you ring asking for 'Jenny'??)
#08  U. K. Squeeze - Cool For Cats (quirky song about our furry overlords, know what i mean??)

CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE

Hello and welcome back... Every now and again, i feel the need to shout about something from the rooftops, this time its about an amazing read... 'Classic Pop Magazine'

Back in the 80s, in Australia, we had two magazines that i would buy religiously for news about my fav bands, posters, and lyrics.
Those two magazine's were 'Smash Hits' and 'Countdown'

Sadly, fast forward into the future, those magazine's are no longer... But one similar magazine is..

'CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE'

Classic Pop magazine is Printed in the U.K from Anthem Publishing.

The magazine covers 80s & 90s Music, News, Exclusive Photos & Interviews, Album Reviews (both Old & New) and heaps more.

The layout is easy to read and is available in Print (I love holding it in my hands) and Electronic form (IPad, Computer, etc, etc)

But I'm not in the U.K, ??  I hear you ask..

No Worries, they can post to your door (i love the smell of fresh print in the morning) OR you can download to your electronic device (there's an app for that)... See links

For posting to your location, I highly recommend ordering directly from Anthem Publishing for trouble free delivery, it will save both time and money dealing directly from the publishers (From a Personal Experience)

Considering there is nothing like this in Australia anymore, its a bonus to have such a wonderful magazine available.

10/10

THE MASH - SUICIDE IS PAINLESS

Hello and welcome back...

If your a lover of the T.V show 'MASH' then you will instantly recognize this song. Its the MASH theme but not how you remember it.

Released in 1980 by 'The MASH' (Johnny Mandel / Mike Altman) 'Suicide is Painless' reached #1 in the U.K & Irish music charts.

Written by a 14 year old, its a sad, bleak song, ts sort of fitting for a song used for a T.V show about war even if it had some comedy themes in it.

Take a Listen

ROD STEWART - YOUNG TURKS

Hello and welcome back... Such a magical song.

Released back in 1981 on the 'Tonight I'm Yours' album and made it to #1 in Canada, #3 in Australia, #5 in U.S & #11 in U.K

Young Turks seen a change in sound for Scottish / English singer 'Rod Stewart' incorporating Synthesizers and Drum Machines into his music where previously it was more rock orientated.

Young Turks was a term meaning 'Rebellious Youth' and had nothing to do with Turkish people (prior to popular belief) and strangely enough, isn't even mentioned in the song.

Play Loud :)
