    Confessions Of A Teenage Record Collector - Episode 02
    Aug 21 2022
    In this series I will create mixes based on my teenage record collection. I kept a diary throughout the 1980s and logged every record I bought each year so can accurately recreate my archive.

    During my teenage years I amassed a rather small but compact box of Punk, New Wave and Mod singles. I mainly focussed on The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers but was becoming increasingly more interested in obscure releases on independent labels.

    This first mix is based on records I had (and still have) up to the end of December 1982. Everything has been digitized from those vinyl records. I even used my 1980s Technics SL-1210MK2 turntable which has survived the decades, and is still in excellent working order.

    In order of appearance:
    BEATLES - "If I Needed Someone"
    BLUEBELLS - "Forevermore"
    BYRDS - "Renaissance Fair"
    CHURCH - "An Interlude"
    CURE - "Charlotte Sometimes"
    DEAD KENNEDYS - "Holiday In Cambodia"
    DOORS - "Soul Kitchen"
    HURRAH! - "I'll Be Your Surprise"
    JAM - "Town Called Malice"
    MODERN ENGLISH - "The Prize"
    KINKS - "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion"
    PSYCHEDELIC FURS - "Aeroplane"
    SIOUXSIE and the BANSHEES - "Fireworks"
    STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - "Back To Front"
    STRANGLERS - "Cruel Garden"
    TALK TALK - "Today"
    UNDERTONES - "You've Got My Number"
    VAPORS - "Daylight Titans"
    XTC - "Ball And Chain"
