the new mix in one go!!!
Me and Paul have come up with a new mix for download - Jammys digital to start, but mainly mid 80s fast chat cockney business.

Sandra Cross’ “Country Living” includes some wonderful soaring double-tracked vocals about getting away from London. Ranking Ann’s “Feminine Gender” ponders the merits of being thought of as a feminist and fits right in with the UK fast deejay stuff on Lyric Maker.
