One of our most loved ssg mixes has been "High-Rise Living 78-86", compiled by The Black Dog & Regis. It was tantalizingly subtitled as "part 1", with the implication being that there would be a second act. We have often been asked would we ever see part 2. Well, here is your answer... Massive thanks to The Black Dog & Regis for delivering another beauty.

Fabulous mix. I was 15 in '77 and it's great to hear this stuff again.
ReplyDeleteI have this idea that there was only 1 synth at the time and on it were only 4 buttons:
1. Light and fluffy
2. Plangent
3. Gothic
4. Industrial
Wonderful mix. 1st class. Private Plane still sounds great every time I hear it.
