'80s Dance Party, part 10


Okay, this is it - the end of our '80s Dance Party. A few more times around the dance floor, then I'll be off to the cobbler because I've danced holes in my shoes.



Perhaps LOU REED's most under-appreciated album (and there have been quite a few!) was his 1986 release "Mistrial", which gave him another minor hit single with "No Money Down". And then, in the spirit of the times, RCA issued a wonderful 12-inch dance record featuring remixes of two of the other tracks from the LP, "The Original Wrapper" and "Video Violence", proving that Lou is indeed "a trendy guy". And check out FERNANDO SAUNDERS' incredible bass playing:
