 | I really tease out the next selection, but the wait is well worth it... |

| Originally I was thinking I'd host a KFAI Vinyl Voices night where I'd sell any record I'd played for two bucks and use all the proceeds to buy MORE records. Somehow my house is full despite that plan coming to fruition |
| 6.8.19 12:50 |
| I buy records at a lot of places but the inspiration for the show came while I was at The Landfill in St. Paul, where all the Cheapo overstock goes to die and they have a zillion 12" singles (and also several zillion LPs) AND everything's 6/$5. |
| 6.8.19 12:48 |
| Ah, Adiche - as I often say (because it's all I got) look him up and all you get is this 12" single. I bought it because it was on Newcleus' label and also shared some publishing credits so I figured you could probably breakdance to it. I was right! |

| The bass has been slapped by Bo Freeman. |
| 6.8.19 12:46 |
| The LP reveals some interesting credits for this song:
Lead Guitar – Phil Ketnar
Rhythm Guitar – Levi Seacer Jr.
Timbales – Harold "Butch" Haynes
Bill Summers might be best known for "Jam the Box" - this was a couple years after that. |
| 6.8.19 12:42 |
| Speaking of vocoder and slap bass...this was another 12" single I knew nothing about but liked the title and track length and just went for it. Now I have Bill Summers out the yin yang on this hard drive |

| This was one of two tracks that WASN'T a greatest hit, but they were both released as singles and became self-fulfilling prophecies - Fogelberg could do no wrong! (This is also the shortest track on this episode, I think) |
| 6.8.19 12:38 |
| I'll always be grateful to for letting me watch him do and figure out what I wanted to do, and I'll always have a pile of records that are a little more smooth. Fogelberg's greatest hits (50¢) is definitely one I return to |

| This remix is by Ron St. Germain - I've also played one of his Diana Ross extensions on the show |
| 6.8.19 12:31 |
| I don't have as many Fatback 12" singles as I think I do, but I probably own more Fatback albums than I think I do. We're halfway through the hour and the quality insights keep coming, folks! |

| I have multiple copies of this one - it's usually in the crate when I'm playing live with KFAI Vinyl Voices or DJ'ing with other folks. It was the fourth and final single off Dead or Alive's monster LP "Youthquake." |

| This song features a dizzying array of "gear changes" for the chorus - but I think that's one of the really great things about it. Another wonderful extension - I learned to look for François' name after his remixes in the late 1980s |
| 6.8.19 12:17 |
| "Kiss Me (Vocal)" was from show , preceded by a Caroline Munro/Gary Numan track and followed by a Dana Dane track. It just kinda ended up that way, as most shows do |
| 6.8.19 12:16 |
| I started counting tracks pretty late in the game - around show . Hopefully I was accurate by the time I got to the 200th track, which is the one you're hearing right now (as I said, now also the 271st track) |

| The regular "LP Version" of this track has a rockin' guitar solo that must not have felt very "disco" as it doesn't show up here - I did play it on 's show once |
| 6.8.19 12:11 |
| I didn't know until I looked her up on Discogs but Taka Boom is Chaka Khan's sister - it DOES explain some of her vocal stylings |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| More slap bass! |
| 6.8.19 12:09 |
| This is Taka Boom! I bought this 12" solely based on the track length and the words "Disco Version" - that technique is usually worth risking the dollar. |
| 6.8.19 12:08 |
| Wow, "new Twitter" sure doesn't like tweeting until the second time I hit that "Tweet" button, huh? |

| This is apparently a Sennheiser vocoder. That would have been a good thing to mention DURING the show, but I often do my research a little too late. |

| Fashion and Duran Duran came up together but "Fabrique" didn't quite get the promotional/label oomph that "Rio" did - one wonders how new wave/new romantic might have evolved if they had been a little more level |
| 6.8.19 12:02 |
| This is FASHIØN, one of the groups that's gotten the most popular feedback from others AND me - I've found three of their 12" singles for a dollar each and played four different long tracks of theirs on the show. |
