Excellent Eighties Episode 65

Episode 65 of Excellent Eighties - anyone order a Chinese for the 12" extended remix this episode? I've got a lesser-known Synth Pop track and one with brackets in the title (hurrah!) for your Synth Pop Sunday and there's an "old school" track for the cheese. There's some partying and some rocking, and unusually two ballads in this episode as well as three tracks from 1989 for some unknown reason, it's just how they were randomly pulled from the boxes of fusty vinyl. Enjoy!
