So for many years my good mate and Dj partner Obliveus has asked me to play at his annual bad 80s Pop dress up party.
I've always said no, as that is 2 things I don't like and enjoy together in one night!
Last year after many years of saying no and to make my friends and my wife happy, strangely I said yes.
To say that I enjoyed the night would probably be an over statement, as hearing Whitney, Bon Jovi, Denise Williams and Obliveus singing along is more than I can take in one lifetime.
I actually did buy some Pop 45s in the 80s, as that was the way I accessed music back then and they were affordable and I have held onto them all this time.
Before that night, I had never played them out or in a set anywhere and after hearing this mix, my car crash selections and poor mixing across genres, you may ask me never to do it again!
But hey it was the 80s and the Pop Charts were much more eclectic than today and as a kid I made pause tapes, that probably sounded similar to this mix.
