In 1983 I was working in a bar on weekends spinning records and I played many of these songs here. The opening two I would often play following each other. Actually I was playing most of these songs during those long nights from 10pm until 4am but there were a lot of times when I could quit earlier... like around 2am if it was a slow night.
Some other favorite albums for spinning back in the day was the Tears For Fears, The The, Big Country, The Romantics, Human League and so on. It was fun doing these 1983 mixes. How did I miss doing this series until now. Lots more to come. This mix runs for about an hour and a half.
This mix has been posted to Spotify but unfortunately the Shriekback is not on the site at least in the original version on this mix. The playlist on Spotify . I put a YouTube video of Lined Up below.
