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.

Now my video clip pick for this album is The Tourists song I Only Want To Be With You. The band features the fabulous Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart who within a year of this song went on of course to form th Eurythmics. Enjoy

Hi Meggsy,
can't thank you enough for posting 'Starcall'. I've got two vinyl copies in differing states of repair. It was great to finally get a good copy of 'Still Sane' by Carolyn Mas and 'Little By Little' by Jon English.
Thanks again :)
