Good to see this get mentioned. It's DSM. Annoyed I don't have it anymore
This was British and I had a tape for years from the Spring 1986 Bognor weekend where Paul Oakenfold as a kind of record promotion bloke is trying to speak to the geezer behind this and the producer doesn't want to know and Oakenfold is trying to calm him down. I had this up until the early 90s before it snapped or something really wish I still had it. It was the last weekender I remember going to before everything changed...I didnt go late 1986 or early '87 then remember a group of punters in bandanas at Bournemouth in Spring 1988. Thought what the fucks this all about but through talking to a couple them I ended up at Spectrum a month or so later.
Back on topic Alicia Myers "Say Say Say"
George Benson "Inside Love (So Personal)"
