WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
We counted over 800 votes for your hottest songs played during 1982. The variety of music (and votes) was the widest in a long time, yet the overall sound of 1982 was becoming more cohesive than the past few years. Perhaps this is a good signal for 1983 and beyond! Casey Jones put together your strongest 27 songs into a powerful 19 ½ minute set, with Raul engineering. Casey has been playing at The River Club, Les Mouches and The Saint in New York, with occassional guest jaunts to California and Texas. The songs you voted for are listed in order of play on the right. You'll find that these make up an impressive percentage of 1982's best sellers… dance music (atleast) is more recession-proof than a lot of "disco's" doomsdayers were saying just a couple of years ago. And many of your choices crossed (or are now crossing) pop, making more and better dance music an attractive label investment.
