Wow… another great discovery for me! Meela Polarmay (Extended Mix) is simply awesome. Thank you so much Paul. (Y)
Sorry, it seems that the “like” emoticon does not work.
Which “like” emoticon Walter?
Maybe I’m wrong but it usually works, this one: (Y)
Hey Paul, I really appreciate all that you do to keep the 80s and the artists that made them so special around. You do an amazing job! I have discovered so many artists and “new to me” 80s music through your site.
Thank you, Tommy Baggett, I appreciate your comment 🙂
Hi Paul,
Nice Tribute and Post
Thanks
Ray
You’re welcome Ray 🙂
So awesome! I haven’t heard this one, but I’m looking forward to it! I love the tributes that you do. Thank you!
You’re welcome Bellenger1981. Both tracks are really good synth-pop tunes 🙂
This is so sad Paul. I was just thinking about Wa Wa Nee just the other day and am really saddened by this news. It’s really nice that you’ve posted another single from their catalog on your site. You always pay wonderful tributes to the artists that you rip because you care so much about their records and all.

Very overlooked band in the USA it’s really a shame they were not noticed here except for “Sugar Free”.
