“818612

The paramters of this selection are that these are all 12” vinyl singles (also known as Maxi-Singles) from the years 1981-1986.
All original copies. No reissues, no repress, no remaster.
The only theme here is the format and I listened to them frequently in said period.
Selected and recorded one after the other, including silence, needle drops and pick ups.
