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.

Your password only works on about half of these songs. Glad I stumbled upon this little corner of heaven while searching for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (Mannequin was on today). Keep it up!

I thought about it later and it's probable that in my sleep-deprived state my sleep-deprived fingers failed to press shift during the hyphen portion of the password, but only on the second half of the songs. Hmmm. Thanks again. Haven't heard many of these songs since their heydays.

Wonderful to find this ol' compilation again after so many years; a huge childhood favorite that I used to cherish with big fat unwieldy 80's headphones. :)

Thanks so much for this - I'll be riding around on my bicycle with a stupid 80s grin listening to this for a couple of weeks at least.

Cheers,
An 80's synth and chiptune freak.
