1982 Top Tune Medley (Part 1) – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1982

“1982 Top Tune Medley” is a landmark bootleg 12″ released in January 1983, the record contains every song that was a club hit in 1982 regardless of genre something that was not usually done at that time period. The record was mixed, edited, sequenced and compiled by DJ LOLLIPOP (AKA Larry Anderson, Chicago) an American DJ and producer. Many of the songs in this production still pack a dance floor today – while others have faded almost into oblivion.

Everything was produced using vinyl records, turntables, a mixer, a splicing block with tape tabs
& miles of ¼” reel-to-reel tape.

I have made every attempt to meticuously restore this record however due to some of the original source records that were used for this bootleg sound quality does vary from track to track. I also want to thank DJ LOLLIPOP for sending this record to me it has become one of my very favorite pieces in my collection. I am also very happy to be able to share this masterpiece with all of you. Enkoy!

Specially Remixed & Edited For Over Forty Minutes Of Non-Stop Dance Action!
