It's a DISCONET MEDLEY!...

Time for another mix, this one's called the 1988 Turbo Megamix. You will find many well known and recognizable Hi-NRG tunes on this one. The track list is largely commercial and features some of the songs that were charting quite successfully at the time, among other bits 'n' pieces thrown in to jumble it up a bit.

Paul Lekakis....

We all know Paul Lekakis from "BOOM BOOM" fame, but in late 1989 he released a single called "You blow me away". It's a track mixed by Shep Pettibone and almost borders on HOUSE music, though still retains its Hi-NRG vibe. It's a simple little song with some happy fun lyrics. Download and play up loud to brighten up your day!
"YOU BLOW ME AWAY...NIGHT AFTER NIGHT...DAY AFTER DAY"...

I uploaded my CD copy so you don't have to put up with crackles! :)

Disco Tracks from 1985...

I am a MEDLEY fanatic, I couldn't help collecting any and every medley that I could get my hands on over the years. This record was one of the first medleys I ever bought from Central Station Records, and it's a "Corker" of a mix. This is just one CRAZY MIXED UP MEDLEY. You wont hear any song longer than a few seconds...it really is that kind of mix, and it's just the way I like 'em!!

Little Baby....

Divine was probably best known for the lyrics "You think you're a man, but you're only a boy" similarly, and for the benefit of the uninitiated, "You pretend to be a lady, but you're just a little baby" was another line made popular among Divine fans back in 1987 with the release of the song "Little Baby". This particular song had a completely different feel to it, thanks to a different arrangement and style to previous singles, influenced by producer at the time Bruce Woolley, who had worked with Dusty Springfield and Co-wrote the song "Video killed the radio star" back in the 70's!

I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER....

1986 was a brilliant year for Hi-NRG records, in particular "MEGATONE" releases. Joan Faulkner stormed the scene with a fantastic energetic and might I add "radio friendly" song titled "I don't wanna talk about the weather". Sadly, it was to be a 'one hit' wonder, though she had a brief comeback in 1991 and again in 1993 but "Meh"! it was garbage. Good on her for trying though, that's the spirit! These were the kind of records that I would gladly fork over Central Station's standard price of around fifteen dollars for. With all due credit, Joan Faulkner remains active and still performs to this day, though her style of music has matured as she has herself, and she sings beautifully.

Here is a performance of her singing "Together" just a year ago, she reminds me a little bit of Randy Crawford.

the 1987 Flashback medley.....

Ultimix were the premium remix service available throughout the 80's. The songs were well mixed, the vinyl had good pressings with visible break marks, and the majority of the medleys were second to none. Ultimix are still going strong, though most of the current mixes lack a lot of the imagination and originality that the older remixes were famous for. Nonetheless, good on them for still being around in this climate of "internet home made mixes" I am surprised the company hasn't drowned in it all and become profitless because of it. This is a favorite of mine. It's taken from what was a "Pack" of vinyls that was released containing the "Best of" Ultimix. Thankfully the medley wasn't altered in any way like often happens when mixes are re-released.

"Whisper to a scream" THE REMIX !

Whisper to a scream was found remixed on a handful of B-sides as well as the album "Best of Bobby O", but it was also released independently as a remixed version 12inch with the same mix on side A as well as side B. It was also pressed on green vinyl and reportedly yellow! I had a green one but some lousy arsehole stole it a while back. The remixes on the colored vinyl had a guitar solo and a longer middle break, strangely, the other plain black vinyl pressings were slightly different. Here is the REMIX.
