Day 28: 'Shellshock' - New Order
Yes, they released better 12“ singles but this is the New Order I know and love. A majestic, beautiful structure sprawled with Peter Hook's guitar graffiti and Sumner's that'll do lyrics. Perfect and throwaway. Artisan but dashed off.

2) 'Kansas (Assasination K. / Kanserous)'
I held back from including this in the #12inch80s challenge to talk about it here. It does all the things a good extended mix should do: expand and improve on the original and sound phenomenal on the dancefloor. Great track.

25: We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) (Extended Version) - Tina Turner
There was only one place to go today. Always liked this. Sure, it's a silly song from a silly movie but Tina absolutely sells it. Even if it is just some guff about Thunderdome. R. I. P Tina

Day 31
We started the month with probably my favourite #12inch80s Ending the month with probably my most played. It’s not cool and I’m not sorry
Closest Thing To Heaven - Kane Gang
#12inch80s
Day 27: 'Ed's Funky Diner' - It's Immaterial
It's Immaterial were a band that really seemed to understand the 12' format, using it as an opportunity to create wonderful, varied, playful mixes that went above and beyond requirement. All are worth tracking down.

The Human League
'Don't You Want Me'
In 1982 this was the monster number 1 hit on my birthday. We used to love dancing around to the mega extended mix version late into the night ⬇️
