Various – Hot Tracks 1989 Year End Medley (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

As 2018 comes to a close and we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to post a set of medley’s that closed out the decade of generation X also known as the 1980’s. Hot Tracks was was an influential remix service that was  known for putting together great medley’s, the two featured here are no exception with Chris Cox and J.R. Clements at the mixing helm. Both megamixes feature some of the biggest club hits of 1989.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!

Wham! – Summer Fun Mega Mix (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990

I originally posted this fun 12″ on George’s birthday way back in 2012. At that time I was still using ClickRepair and the old stylus this 12″ was way over due to have a new meticulous re-rip and 2017 remaster. Also created a new picture sleeve to go along with it!

On this 12″ we have the Wham! “Summer Fun Megamix”. A really nice mix featuring some of Wham!’s biggest hits including “Wham! Rap”, Freedom, I’m Your Man” and more. On the filip side is a megamix of early 80’s disco/funk/r&b tracks, including “Love Come Down” by Evelyn King, “Get Down Saturday Night” by Oliver Cheatham, and “You’re The One For Me” by D-Train.

Black Wax was an an early 1990s bootleg remix label which put out remixes and megamixes of music covering everything from ’50s to ’90s music. Many of the single artist remixes have new production under them making them very unique.
