Love Diary Series: Classic Romantic

The new instalment of the critically acclaimed 12"/80s series features an eclectic and varied selection of the 12"s from that most singular of decades. This volume’s theme is Electro: Pop. The three CD set showcases electronic, synth and drum machine 80s genres from electro to synth pop to new romantic to new wave to hip-hop–all in their full-length 12" extended mix glory. Featuring a mix of the classic and the underground, this back to basics collection includes seminal 80s 12”s from such legends as New Order, Human League, Simple Minds, Grandmaster Flash, Soft Cell, Japan, Afrika Bambaataa, Heaven 17, Yazoo and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, many of who have inspired today’s new wave of chart electropop from La Roux to Little Boots to Florence & the Machine to Goldfrapp.
