I was expecting '90s. Nice surprise.  Ah, it's "Leah" as our TOTHK.

An FF perhaps, but I've always enjoyed this.

BOS1 Elvis C's version of "Girls Talk". (maybe a triple-play with Dave Edmunds and Ms. Ronstadt? Nah.)

I adore "Switchin' to Glide" but RR played it fairly recently, no?

Me and Zero request you in the Mercedes...

Not even close to a rarity, but I still never tire of hearing This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide.

This, Ah Leah, and Split Enz I Got You are three songs that immediately harken back to the fall of '80. Will we get the hat trick?
Let's get right to it.

Does this count as a Narada? I never heard it before 10at10.

yes, it would be a Narada for you.  It was a HUGE "turntable hit" on the East coast.

"Tattooed Love Boys" show Chrissie what her hole is for. BOS3.  One of the greatest debut LPs evah.
