Desert Island Mix Tape

I have a mix tape exchange going with a new member at the Tapeheads forum. I received his mix tape, yesterday, and I plan to play it this evening. I sent him a copy of my Pick A Decade All Vinyl mix tape project and when he asked what I would prefer as a theme for him to record, I suggested he pick a number of tracks he would be content to listen to if he was deserted on an island.

Just going through their most formidable list of albums, and you'd be hard pressed to find a bad song.
They did HEAPS! At least 9 albums worth of tunes.

Recorded on Sony FeCr NOS. Pretty demanding recording, especially for a pre-90's deck...

Can't get enough of this album. Good for indoor, outdoor and especially 'on the road' listening!
 
Wow is right..

Gets to me like "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad".....

Thanks Miles...

That does bring back some memories.
I'm a bit older than this era, but my little brother ate a lot of cereal, and begged me to play these things on my Thorens TD-124 (which I still use daily) or my Phillipps GA-212. He was banished from my stereo, ruined more albums when he was little, ......maybe it was all that sugar!

Anyway, I played the DM version of the song a few times while spending an enjoyable Sunday morning learning more about the original on the interwebs. Funny, 99 out of a 100 covers aren't as good as the original, but the remaining 1% make the original even better by bringing out some heretofore unappreciated aspect of it.

Very cool. Never heard this version before -- thanks again for sharing!

You're welcome, I couldn't have said this better by myself.

I had the change to see Depeche Mode performing this live some years ago, and I'm still speechless thinking about that moment.
