Various – NRG-MIXXX Volume One Issue Four (US 12″)

With this issue you get a fun 16 minute Dead Or Alive “Nude Medley” as well as a great freestyle track from Alta Dustin and a housed up Taylor Dayne Medley.

NRG-MIXXX remix service which was active during the late 1980’s and early 90’s is now like many others no longer in operation.
