WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Here are the 20 songs you voted best in 1980, mixed together ever so skillfully by Mike Arato and John Matarazzo. Remember how "Fame", "Underwater" and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" used to drive them crazy? They probably still do. And the 1980 Top Tune Medley is a great way to slow down the pace as it is sequenced from the faster hits to the slower ones, letting you get off at the BPM you're looking for. The various songs, artists and credits are listed below in order of play. We're repeating the 1980 medley to help inspire your thinking for the 1982 Disconet Top Tune Medley. You may vote for five songs, the ones that were your strongest during 1982. Please fill in the name of the artist and the name of the song on this program's feedback card. Every vote counts, and will be instrumental in developing the 1982 medley which will appear on a Disconet in the near future.
