Looks like a nice mix of old standbys and some excellent rarities/bustouts. Will listen later.

I'm starting now (11:40). I don't recognize the first one, group or song.

Nice to hear long version of Talk Talk's "It's My Life". I don't imagine I've heard the long version before.

ETA: come to think of it, that version didn't add anything to the original apart from length. Tight editing is a virtue sometimes.

BOS for Style Council, though I know this is the song we always hear. (Ever Changing Moods)

Is that Kirstie McColl (sp?)? Nice song. Thought it was Tracey Ullman at first.

Listening now. King's "Love & Pride" was a big alt-radio hit in NY and a longtime 1984 wish-list song for me. A bustout, methinks.  A UK #1 that did little here, chartwise.

Dear Alphaville: most white people are big in Japan. Comparatively.

BOS1 KIng; BOS2 Kirsty covering Billy Bragg (who wrote an extra verse for her so she could have a hit single).

and kudos on a Nik Kershaw song that isn't "Wouldn't it be Good?"
