MTV Eighties Dance Mix

MTV (Music Television) is an American cable television network based in New York City and launched on August 1, 1981. The original purpose of the channel was to play music videos guided by on-air hosts known as VJs.[1] Today, MTV still plays a limited selection of music videos, but the channel primarily broadcasts a variety of pop culture and reality television shows targeted at older adolescents {age 15 and older) and young adults.
Since its premiere, MTV has revolutionized the music industry. Slogans such as "I want my MTV" became embedded in public thought, the concept of the VJ was popularized, the idea of a dedicated video-based outlet for music was introduced, and both artists and fans found a central location for music events, news, and promotion. MTV has also been referenced countless times in popular culture by musicians, other TV channels and shows, films and books.

On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 a.m., MTV: Music Television launched with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken by John Lack. Those words were immediately followed by the original MTV theme song, a crunching guitar riff written by Jonathan Elias and John Petersen, playing over a montage of the Apollo 11 moon landing. MTV producers Alan Goodman and Fred Seibert used this public domain footage as a conceit, associating MTV with the most famous moment in world television history.[4] At the moment of its launch, only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it.[5]
Appropriately, the first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. The second video shown was Pat Benatar's "You Better Run". Sporadically, the screen would go black when an employee at MTV inserted a tape into a VCR

I want my old MTV. Back then it was all about the music, after 15 years of not watching MTV, I watched it a few days ago and I could not stand the reality shows they air nowadays.

What videos had an lasting impact on me? To name a few: A-ha - Take On Me, Dire Straits - Money For Nothing, Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love, Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Madonna - Borderline, Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Duran Duran - The Reflex, Cock Robin - When Your Heart Is Weak, Prince - When Doves Cry, etc...

So I decided to make a dance mix of some of the MTV videos that I always watched back then.

Mixed and recorded on the fly. 100% Vinyl.

Peace,
