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.

Great blog Meggsy. I have a copy of this but on a double tape. It's one of those that had the 12" versions. It's somewhere in the shed, when we get nicer weather I'll see if I can find it and if its any good I'll post it somewhere.

I've got quite a few tapes from the 80s so if they are any good I'll rip them - if I can get my old tape deck to work.

Glad you enjoy the blog, its a bit of fun. Most of my poor old tapes are so stretched they are too bad to rip but I am slowly doing what I can. Luckily my tape deck is still good. Which makes this all the better.
Cheers :)

Okay..... What happened with Jump Incorporated - "Sex And Fame"? .... Track 5.

Nice blog, by the way. I've attempted a similar idea of finding tracks from all those 80s compilations.

Have you fixed "Sex And Fame" yet? I downloaded the file and it's not the right track.

The only problem is that the mix of I Do What I Do is not the same mix that was on my 1986 Way To Go album :( But thanks for the downloads.
