Now look what you’ve done!
This morning, after seeing this 12″ here on your blog, I’ve spent almost 12 hours trying to track down an original 1984 Summer Olympics LP, or a FLAC rip of same, wherever I can find it.
Still, thanks for supplying the music that sparks the memories!
thank you so much (from my favourite O.G.what a memories) have a good weekend
what about chariots of fire lol was there no 12inch of that
I remember the Christopher Cross swimming theme “A Chance for Heaven” he did for the ’84 Olympics, but I totally forgot this one. Thanks for the refreshment.
AWESOME PAUL!!
This is from such a great Olympic Soundtrack, I still have it on record!!
More from ’84!!!
Thanks!!!
Go USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Going for the Gold Medal Paul. Again, you always come up with something that reflects what’s happening in the world. Awesome, absolutely AWESOME!!!!
Jeff
Thanks Jeff. Let the games begin!
Did he put the click on the track? 😉
What does this mean?
U was wondering the same thing lol.
It was a reference to the “Giorgio by Moroder” track on the Daft Punk album. Obviously not fans of it so. 🙂
A pleasant enough, 80s typical dance track…
Paul do you have “Paula’s Them” the dance track from the film “The Running Man”?
Thanks for the upload..
That should be Paula’s Theme..
Sorry I don’t Ex15.
Thanks Paul. Don’t remember this one though anything by Moroder is bound to be good . Your blog without a doubt is the best online . I would’ve never found a lot of these singles on my own.
Thank you Omar appreciate the comment 🙂
