WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Here is your 1983 Top Tune Medley, based largely on your 443 votes for your strongest songs during 1983 and the keen ability of that Terrific Trio ---Mike Arato, John Matarazzo and Raul A. Rodriguez--- to knit a whole year (and 18 hot songs) into a 17:30 set. In addition to being welcomed into the time capsule which showcases what happened with dance music, the medley is a great way to spruce up an otherwise dull evening, and demonstrates how well carefully crafted mixes can really help make a song shine.
