A mix inspired by the TV programme aired by the BBC last month. A great show that got me feeling nostalgic for the early 80s when I first started listening to music. The first completed mix, though looked a little bit too much like a compilation you could easily buy in the supermarket. Too many hits ( Vienna, Love Action, Cars etc ) . I knew I had to do some re-jigging, and this is the final outcome, one of my favourite mixes I've posted this year. Hope somebody else agrees!
