The Twelve Inch 113 : I Can Dream About You : Dance-pop/Funk/1980's - 1984

I start this weeks mix & first song with a combination of two of the three remixes made of “I Can Dream About You”. I used the Jellybean mix as the basis but added a part of the Morales mix at the start because of the acapella opening. I always found the Jellybean mix rather dull at the start.

"I Can Dream About You" is followed by two other blue eyed soul dance records : “The Main Thing” by Roxy Music, from their last album Avalon and in a rare twelve inch extended mix and the Hall & Oates hit “I Can’t Go For That”. By the way Dan Hartman offered "I Can Dream About You" initially to Hall & Oates who declined because they just finished Big Bam Boom and had no more room for another new song.

The rest of the mix wanders off to a selection of 80's dance funk with (among others) Evelyn “Champagne” King, Change, Aretha Franklin & Shannon. Some great early Shep Pettibone remix work ! Enjoy !
