80's Tapes: It has been a banner week for finds.

Why I Do This

I was lucky enough to be a teenager through the eighties and I was mad on music, big hair, bad make-up and all that went with being a teenager of the times. All these years later I still have the big hair but now it is "touched" with grey and the bad make-up is gone but the tunes still play loudly in my head and even louder if they grace my radio, tv or mp3player. I will gladly admit to being a"mainstream" fan for the most part but I do have the odd liking for some of the less "played to death" bands of the time. What started all this was a drawer full of slowly decaying cassettes and a fear of losing the music that is on them. So I began to recreate them onto CD and I am loving it and finding some fantastic albums along the way.

I would like to re-dedicate this site to my late husband, he lost his long battle with cancer in 2011, he was a huge 80's fan, possibly even more so than myself. So for you my love.

It has been a banner week for finds.

I have had the best week. I was able to complete 4 more cassette to CD conversions so I am stoked. Now do remember that first and foremost I am a OZRock Gal but the 80's in general are my passion. I have been searching high and low and I have found some fairly elusive (well they were to me at least) tracks needed to complete the tracklists. I wanted to share what I have done so far. So here is where I am up to.

1981 Over The Top
1981 Rocks On
1981 The Sound
1982 In The Sun
1982 Out Of the Blue
1982 The Winners
1982 Up I Lights
1982 With A Bullet
1983 Summer Breaks
1983 The Hot Ones
1984 Shakin
1984 The Beat
1985 Come Alive
1986 Just For Kicks
1986 Out Now
1986 Way To Go
87 Hits Out
1987 Into The Groove
1987 Lets Party
All The Hits 1986
CHOOSE 1985
Go For It 83
Hit City 87
Hits Hot '84/85
Hits Huge 84
Hitwave 81
Rocktrip '82
Summer '87
The Breakers '83

It has been fun wandering down memory lane to these tunes, classics at best.
