Flying In The Face Of Fashion

A very special mix for a very special friend on a very special day. Happy birthday, Claire!
 
51 minutes of pure '80s, picked from the vinyl and mixtapes we used to listen to at yours on Sundays and after school, particularly Talk Talk 12" singles, and not forgetting two memorable gigs, seeing The Damned and The Psychedelic Furs live in concert. 

From those days as 15 year old dreamers to today, whether we've been in or out of contact, the world is a brighter place for having you on it. Have a wonderful day, my beautiful friend.

    1. Thanks, Mike, I hope it didn't disappoint! The GLJ track is a re-recording/re-release. The original 12" has the edge, but this one came with a massive double-sided poster of the beautiful Aston twins, which was very popular with my girlfriend at the time!
