80s Weekender

The gremlins have struck again and I have had to shelve my planned post for today, so here's a little dip into the archives for some 80s (or 80s adjacent) tunes.

I've created hundreds of mixtapes and compilations for this blog, but I only keep the links active for a month or so. Therefore, I've reactivated a selection that share my love of 80s music and especially the 12" remix. 

In total, there 159 songs, 94 artists, 12 mixtapes and selections, Enough to fill the weekend, I think!
