This is the first mix-tape I made, and it holds a special place in my heart. I made it at my dad's house in '87, after he'd gotten a new hi-fi setup which included the first CD player I'd ever had a chance to play around with.

In the summer of 1987, everybody was listening to U2 and R.E.M., and you'll find plenty of that here. There's also the obligatory nod to XTC and The Beatles. There are also some of my favorite tracks from Peter Gabriel and INXS, who didn't find much room on mhy other mix tapes. Which is a shame, I'm a bigger fan of them now than I was even back then.

The only mistake here is that I chose a 60-minute tape. Rookie error smdh :-/

Jeff and Mark will be happy that Rush finally makes an appearance (still no Free Bird, sorry!)
