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.

A brillant Aussie packed soundtrack. I haven't unfortunetly added a link because I am unable to find one song. ( See My Begging list to the side) but I wanted to share it with you anyway in the hope someone may be able to help me with the missing track from John St Peeters.

Any chance you could post a link if KenW63 was able to complete the track listing? I'd love this in my collection and can't find it anywhere...

I grew up listening to this album and it was probably THE formative LP of my youth. Featuring a who's who of 80's Oz-rock. Brilliant!
