I'm Back After a Small Break :D
32 Years ago today way Back In 1986 teenagers like myself would tune In to Stu Allan’s Souled Out show on Piccadilly Radio & every year in Dec he would have an end of the year best of mix and listeners would
be ready to press the record button on their ghetto blaster. A full year
of the best tracks in one show \o/\o/\o/
be ready to press the record button on their ghetto blaster. A full year

Back Then I had no equipment apart from 2 tape recorders & after recording his mix shows & taping the electro streetsounds albums etc I would create mixes using the pause button technique, which granted wasn't great but it was the only way I could replicate what I was hearing & this method was were it all began for me, anyway on this day 32 years ago Stu played a mix for the end of year show
I Released the pause button on my tape recorder and the TDK90 started to record the Best of 1986 mix.
WOW what a Mix It was too It Blew anything I could do Into the next decade lol & It was all done using the Same Technique I was doing, I played this mix for weeks, months It was that good :D
Digging round my loft last month I came across this recording again & played it for the first time in years & dammmn It brought back some great memories of my teenage life Unfortunately the sound quality has degraded some what so I tried looking online for it & came across This website which Reviewed It In great detail https://groovement.co.uk/2017/11/paulmulhearn-by-mrspin/
Again the sound quality isnt Really great So I decided to recreate parts of the mix & put my own Spin On it as I didnt want to just copy It
So here It Is bringing you way back to the sound of eighties Hip Hop \o/
Big shout Out & Respect goes to Paul Mulhearn R.I.P
Peace.

I Must say Shaun I'm lmpressed of your talents and your creative skills and it's been a real pleasure listening to your work throughout the years. So just want to say thank you. Respect.
Dope mix
1986 I turned 20 and even though I no longer was break dancing I was still into Rap. NOTHING compares to early 80s rap.
