This music was so powerful & left a lasting impression inside everybody’s minds.

Thanks for watching!!

Could it be a rare Freestyle track from 1987? If I can narrow that down, I’ll scan through my collection.

Is it similar to Yo No Se by Pajama Party?

@@klassicjam well the thing is I don't know. But it's sampled on a couple records, one being 970 Club - Ay Mas 1990 and the other Seduction - Seduction 1988. They both use the same sample "mas". 970 club uses the "Ay" and "mas" I've been trying to track the original track down for weeks! I've gone through Liz Torres songs too. And can't find it. It's not the frankie bones sexy acapella either. On the Seduction - Seduction record, you can hear the word "mas" as well as the female sample from Break for Love. My guess that the record im looking for is 1988 or earlier.

@@dpalaoro Thanks for the info. I was listening to Seduction a few minutes ago, and this track with the samples sounds like Acid House; not so much Freestyle. If it’s a Chicago House sound with a twist of Freestyle, it’s going to be difficult to find. There are so many tracks out there in this genre I’m unfamiliar with. I noticed some of these are rare and predates the 1988 era. It could be 1986 or 1987. A DJ once told me to pay close attention to the remixers credited on these releases; you’ll have a better chance to find that lost classic that’s been years of searching for. I’ll keep an ear open. I just heard on Channel 54, Sirius XM radio - Studio 54 on Saturday playing all Freestyle music. May want to check it out. Also, heard some house music from time to time. Best of luck, my friend.

@@klassicjam Well the 970 Club - Ay Mas was released in 1990, the Seduction - Seduction was in 1988. I only brought up the Seduction record because it also has the "mas". But the 970 club has the "ay" and "mas" which I'm on the hunt for. So I reached out to Louis Flores aka Breakbeat Lou. He's the cat that worked with Chep Nunez on that record. He told me those snippets were samples off a Sleeping Bag Records artist. But he doesn't remember because it was so long ago. lol which I can totally understand. How could someone who has worked on so many projects remember something so unimportant. But for me, it Is important! I need to know!!!

Thank You! Appreciate your comment and coming aboard my channel for some vinyl goodies. Stay tuned for the next video; just picked up some more records.

Thanks, my friend! I trust your judgement on great music; “Being Boiled” is now going on my Want List. I can tell you that I’ve never seen the 12” single before. Hopefully not too pricy. Appreciate your comment & thanks for watching my video!!

Hi Marc, thanks for coming on board my channel for some 80’s vinyl goodies. Totally unexpected to pull this early Human League LP from a box of “unwanted” records that I wasn’t even going to waste my time. But that proves to search every box for those hidden treasures - you never know! I didn’t have any RSD records to display. But stay tuned for the next video in which I may post some collectible LP’s that every collector of 80’s music should either have on their shelves or recommended pickups from the record stores. Thanks again for your comment!

Front 242 albums have a distinct appearance that showcases their brand in the EBM / Industrial universe. My 1st introduction to their sound was on a mixed tape in’88 for “Quite Unusual”. The track was actually released in ‘87 (had no idea). Then I was in the club scene, on the dance floor with a killer sound system… this electronic sound & chanting of “Hey Poor” which was the iconic “Welcome to Paradise” and the rest is history. Their LP’s; especially the early stuff have become rare, collectible, & highly sought after. I did have Skinny Puppy LP at one time, but sold on eBay for around $30 - $35 many years ago entitled “Testure” (I think). Not familiar with their material, but I made a nice profit at that time. Had the opportunity to dig through a collection and seller was only asking $2 each for EBM & Industrial LP’s. That’s how I was able to score the Front 242, A Split Second, and Nitzer Ebb records. Speaking of Nitzer Ebb, my first introduction was “Fun to be Had” remix version and I fell in love with their sound. Went to Sound Warehouse & bought the tape. But I was disappointed because it wasn’t the killer remix. Years later, discovered the remix version was on on “M” DJ Remix Service (actually Steve Masters own label). I can play that track over & over again. Plus Join in the Chant is must-have vinyl in my collection. Well, that’s my musical journey. Thanks for your time & comments as always.

@@klassicjam Dig it is one of Skinny Puppy's most well known songs from the album the perpetual intercourse. Trent Reznor from NIN mentioned how it influenced his song Down in it. The last song on side B, Burnt with water, runs into the matrix. With a manual turntable it will loop "lord hear my prayer, Amen" sampled from the Exorcist movie. Definitely a cool factor if you're into oddities related to collecting. Split Ends true colours album features a total of 11 different album covers and have laser etched vinyl, again if you're into that sort of thing .

⁠Oh wow! I learned something new today. That’s the power of music and this UA-cam commentary platform to discuss the jams from back in the day. I will take your recommendation and check it out. For the Split Enz LP, I actually picked up a copy from my local flea market about 3 years ago. When I added the vinyl to my Discogs collection, I was surprised how many different pressings were out there. Took some extra time and effort to categorize my record with the exact number, color, code, & etching. Thanks again!

@@klassicjam Skinny Puppy's music isn't for everyone. You may just want to keep an eye out for it in case you spot it while digging. The prices are getting up there.

Thanks Shawn! Very unexpected to pick up these records. You know how it goes… hard work pays off; especially valuable time spent digging through the dusty boxes. Luckily I was on vacation 10 hours away and kinda knew where to go. But it’s the thrill of the treasure hunt! Thanks for your great comment and taking time to watch my video. Stay tuned!

Thank you very much! When you’re out there in the “wild” or unchartered territory, it’s so gratifying to pulled great 80’s gems out the boxes after so many hours of digging. You can’t just give up; there may be a hidden treasure lurking deep into the dusty box or bin. Stay tuned for the next video coming soon!

Hello my friend. No Blondie 12” singles, but I’ve came close to pulling the trigger on the LP’s. I can’t seem to align a fair price & excellent condition. Always too many scratches for my taste. I hear ya on the Big Audio Dynamite material; I was only introduced the “The Bottom Line” back in the day. Of course through UA-cam & Discogs, I realized how creative their music really was. Still learning today. That track by OMD is becoming my favorite these days; got the 12” single too. Thanks brother for the praise on the Peter Gabriel LP. Good to hear that!

Thanks for watching! Keep on enjoying the Freestyle vibe.

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching some good ole’ Electro from back in the day!

Thank you so much! Happy that you enjoyed those classics bass-bumping beats!!

Thank You! I didn’t know about it years later; wish I would have scored the OG 1987 vinyl. Already had the tape & CD for a long time. I really wore out that tape in my car back in the Day. Congrats to you, my friend! A collectible DM record in your stack of goodies. Till next time…

Yes Indeed! It was just one of those UNIQUE songs to come out in the late 80’s. A big club track that was huge on mainstream radio as well. Yeah, I love the music on the movie soundtrack. What a fitting song ending!

@@klassicjam totally agree

Oh wow! That’s great to know this information. Maybe it’s a rare piece in my collection. Thanks for checking on this.

@@klassicjam back then unofficial releases were sort of common at independently owned record stores that served the DJ community. An example would be Voices by KC Flightt from 1991. Yellow label is the bootleg.

Good to know, my friend. Thanks for sharing your vinyl wisdom. I’m still learning every day.

@@klassicjam All of us are learning together. Love your vids.

That is awesome to hear that. When I first heard this song, I played it over and over again. I bought Alphaville’s CD about 3 years ago and it surprised me the quality of the tracks - 1984 releases. I enjoyed the entire CD, and now the vinyl is on my Want List. Kind of “pricey” right now but just waiting on a NM copy for a lower price. Big in Japan is definitely my favorite & it’s so cool we have the same taste in music. Hopefully, I’ll have some more goodies to share in my next video. Take care!

Hi Shawn. It’s great to hear that, my friend. So happy to take time and pull more vinyl treasures from the shelves & celebrate 40 years of these releases. ABC, Human League, & the other great New Wave acts were essential; consistently tweaking their sound each year - early to mid-80’s. Still fascinated to me how many 12” singles were released the previous year to the actual album release. Stay tuned for some collectible vinyl in my next video. Let’s have some fun!

My top 3 that’s been in & out of my Want List for years would be Steve Masters - Turntable Aktion (promo) on Tripindicular records (purple label) - 1989, Information Society - Running (with Swamp Mix) - green label - Wide Angle records - 1984, Omega II - Sonic Boom - Showroom records - 1988. There you go! Love to have these in my collection. I don’t have a large colored vinyl collection; maybe some Razormaids and a handful of others. Thanks again & appreciate your top notch recommendations.

@@klassicjam I've never heard of Turntable Aktion and Sonic Boom until now. Running I know but on the Tommy Boy label. Thanks for the info.

Early to mid-80’s material released by INXS is their best work in my opinion. I never knew about Daryl Hall in the background till after I bought the 12” single. Now, every time I play it or hear it on the radio, I think about the “mystery” talent in the background. I promise you will enjoy Axodry - “You” I’ll See You in my Dreams. I first heard this track on a mixed tape I recorded from late-night dance club radio back in the day. I never knew the artist or title; I actually wrote on my tape card “I Can See Your Face”… not knowing. No internet back then; and not in my local record stores. I remember back in 2004, scored this gem in Gulfport / Biloxi Mississippi from Goldmines Records for $10.00. The next year, I think the store was wiped out from Hurricane Katrina that devastated the coast the following year - 2005. All those record… what a shame. For Echo & the Bunnymen, my 12” singles collection is complete. I still don’t own any OG full length LP’s. They are so “pricey”. Good chat as always!

Hi Jeffrey! That’s a great pickup with Space Traveler. I haven’t heard that electro track in many years. Actually, I purchased this record back in ‘84 during its release - a memorable moment from my past. I too flipped the record over to spin the instrumental version; it was my favorite as well. Thanks for resurrecting this Old School Electro jam from the ashes. Take care!

It’s my pleasure, Jeffrey! So happy that you took time to watch my video for the birth of 1984’s Music explosion. Obviously, this is my favorite year and it’s so much fun to share my collection with the vinyl community. When I go digging in the record stores, it seems that I always gravitate towards the 80’s stuff; especially around ‘84. I’m going to show some collectible records next; not necessarily the highest priced and most rare, but the “must-have” vinyl. Stay tuned and thanks again for your comment.

Thanks for reminding me about this gem. I do have it on the shelves; purchased from Houston about 2 years ago. It’s time to bring it back to life! Thanks for coming aboard my channel & very appreciative of your comment. Till next time…

Keep them coming Klassic Jam…… Enjoy your video’s…. Love 80’s Vinyl

You are very welcome! So happy that you enjoy the vintage 80’s vinyl goodies. Still learning this impressive decade with so many lost treasures. So much fun to share!

Wow! I can only imagine the vibe in the DJ booth behind the “wheels of Steel” spinning the those iconic pieces of wax history. When I was 1st introduced to the “Renegades of Funk” vinyl in my local record store back in ‘83, I was just blown away by the artistry of the pictured jacket. Didn’t have to listen to it in the store; back then, they would play the record for you before the purchase. I really miss those times; taking chances - blind buy if you will. The Newcleus tracks I knew, so I knew the LP would be top notch. Yeah, the jacket alone would get you to buy. Mantronix: I have “Needle to the Groove” vinyl plus their CD’s. Great artist - love their style. Hope we can talk again, & thanks for your comment; of course, your dedication to the 80’s grooves!

@@klassicjam record shopping was the same for me. The stores had a Dj setup and would play a record for you to listen to before purchase. I'm in Toronto and there were a few stores that would import U.S. and U.K. records. One store, owned by two brothers , would have one brother drive to NYC each week to pick up the latest "wax". Every weekend was like a race to get to the store before the latest hot traxx sold out.

Remember hearing Mantronix Needle to the Groove for the first time such a great tune plus loved the graffiti artwork on the cover PS Mantronix was all over the place that time with Just-Ice and Joyce Sims plus others

@@Eyerex the 80's Hip Hop/rap culture was awesome. Graffiti, B boys, B girls with name plate belt buckles, Kangols, Cazels, rope chains, shell toes and Clydes, track suits, Dj battles, break dancing, ghetto blasters, rec hall dances. The younger generations missed out. Joyce Sims tracks could pack the dance floor guaranteed.

@@Eyerex Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant Spraycan Art by Henry Chalfant and James Prigoff These are 2 great books from that time. I still have them 84 and 87.

Man, that’s the coolest comment my 80’s friend! “How Soon is Now” was 1st introduced to me in the late 80’s club scene. This was a mesmerizing track with that iconic “haunting” guitar licks played into the early morning; sometimes the last song before the lights came on at 5 AM. This UA-cam channel is a great platform to share this “uncharted” or “Lost Mixes” Vinyl 12” singles with listeners that grew up on Top 40 radio. I’m still discovering music from the 80’s through subscribers like yourself and research through other videos; and especially Discogs. And YES, I’ve been watching this 12” single from The Smiths increasing in price over the years. I can almost guarantee you that record store owners know this song & its value. YES, there will be a next video - Part 4. Pulled out another stack from the shelves; I just knew were more ‘84 releases. Stay tuned and hopefully you’ll see some “hidden treasures” in the video.

Anytime, my friend! I was able to pull more outstanding gems from the shelves for a 4th video of the continuation into 1984. These videos actually help me revisit artists that I may have forgotten. Man, they don’t make music like this anymore. Happy to share this with people like you that have a deep appreciation of the 80’s. Take care and we’ll talk again.

Just love the music of 1984! Out of The Fixx LP’s that I have, Phantoms has the least play; but your comment inspires me play the entire album once again for songs you enjoy. Appreciate the recommendation. A unique artist with their own sound. Thanks again!

Thanks again, Doctor. I truly appreciate your comments. It’s nice to have this UA-cam platform to share these electro classics and spread this historic music for the next generation to come. Let’s keep these Old School jams alive. Always a pleasure, my friend.

It’s great to hear from you again! Hope all is well. Always looking forward to a recommendation from you. I’ll put Stranger to Stranger on the list. Thanks again!

Thanks for your wonderful comment; especially from the Doctor himself. I’ve watched many of your videos throughout the years - very rare gems from the 80’s. Yes Indeed! Jam on Revenge is an LP that I was so fascinated with upon its release in ‘84. I had sold it in my teens, and regained it later when I started collecting again at 30ish. Tyrone Brunson is another artist that I remember going to Wal-Mart & purchasing the 45’s; (I think) $1.45 was the purchase price back in the day. Please check out my next video just posted. Thanks again for watching!

Thank you so much! We have to give props to the music of 1984 - just amazing! There’s more Electro from this year that I no longer have in my collection; regrettably sold on EBay many years ago. Prices have soared & not affordable anymore. Sometimes you might get lucky in the record store & pull out a collectible Old School jam from the dusty bins. That’s what makes it so much FUN & gratifying. Appreciate you coming onboard & stay tuned for the next video.

Thanks again! Part 2 is coming up next; hopefully some more goodies for your 80’s crave.

My 80’s friend…you have enlightened me with vinyl knowledge and I thank you very much! I’ll have to be on the lookout for the Tom Tom Club’s colored vinyl next time. I just LOVE “Spin Me Round” from the day I 1st heard this energizing musical madness till listening to it in my car TODAY! I have the Murder Mix on 12” single, and I have not heard the Performance Mix; but I will now thanks to you. A listener answered the question about the Talking Heads LP… entitled “Naked”. Next on the list for sure. A pleasure as always; hope you score and fulfill your treasure chest of vinyl goodies.
