The Twelve Inch 105 : It's My Life : Synth-Pop/Electro-Pop/New Wave - 1984 - 1 Hour Beatmix

My weekly 1 hour beatmix extravaganza that accompanies my Substack newsletter. I tell the story of the twelve inch music format, 1 twelve inch at a time. We start with that twelve inch: It's My Life by Talk Talk in the Steve Thompson US mix. It's followed by Culture, ABC & Robert Görl from D.A.F. Guestvocals on "Darling Don't Leave Me" are from Annie Lennox. The true gems of this week's mix are a rare remix of "A View To A Kill" by Duran Duran, "Prepare To Energize" of William Orbit's 80's band : Torch Song and one of the biggest mysteries of the eighties : "English Evenings" by English Evenings. Why this one wasn't a big synth-pop hit at that moment is incomprehensible 😃. There are some local gems included as well : The dub of "That's The Game" by Wet is quite rare. Enjoy !
