N's 12th Music Mix

This mix is heavy on vinyl. I have marked with an asterisk* songs on vinyl.

SIDE A

1. *"Bad To Me" is a Lennon/McCartney song which John and Paul wrote for the fellow Liverpool band Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas. I found this 45 rpm single in my basement in a cardboard box of my landlord's belongings.
2. *Walking on Sunshine: Katrina & The Waves
3. *"Midnight Blue" Lou Gramm is the lead singer of Foreigner. His solo "career" is nearly nonexistent, except for this awesome song from his solo debut LP Ready or Not. I found this LP in a cutout bin at the old HMV music store in Harvard Square.
4. *Hungry Heart: Bruce Springsteen
5. *"No One Is To Blame" Howard Jones recorded two versions of this song. He charted a hit with the re-make, which was produced by Phil Collins (and features Phil on drums and backing vocals). For this mix, I spliced together the first verse of the original into the remainder of the remake. I would reuse this mix on Mix 87 in 2002.
6. That's All: Genesis
7. *Better Be Home Soon: Crowded House
8. Finish What You Started: Van Halen
9. Bank on Your Love: Hall & Oates
10. Relax: Frankie Goes to Hollywood

SIDE B: The Nouns Side

1. "Runaway Train" This mix was relentlessly old-fashioned until this Soul Asylum song showed up!
2. I will admit, I was totally hooked on "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane in 1992 and 1993.
3. *"Pink Cadillac" is in my Top 5 Bruce Springsteen songs.
4. *Goody Two Shoes: Adam Ant
5. I first discovered "Hairstyles & Attitudes" when Timbuk3 was the musical act on Saturday Night Live April 18, 1987 (host: John Larroquette).
6. You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover: Bo Diddley
7. Ordinary Average Guy: Joe Walsh
8. Owner of a Lonely Heart: YES
9. Money Changes Everything: Cyndi Lauper
10. Panama: Van Halen

Recorded at WERS Studio P. 100 minute Maxell cassette

1. Ponta De Lanca Africano, Jorge Ben
2. 25 or 6 to 4, Chicago
3. If You've Got Trouble, This is an unreleased Beatles song from 1965, written by Lennon and McCartney for Ringo to sing. It was the custom for Ringo to sing one song per LP, but this composition and performance were so lackluster, the track was discarded. Ringo sang a cover of Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" on that LP instead. I acquired this track on a bootleg, but The Beatles would eventually release the song on the Anthology box set in 1996.
4. Sink The Pink, AC/DC
5. "Bank on Your Love" is a Hall & Oates song using the game of poker as a relationship metaphor.
6. Run to You, Bryan Adams
7. Breaking The Girl, Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. Mirror In The Bathroom, The English Beat
9. 99.9 F, Suzanne Vega
