'My' Blitznights...and yours ?

[Coen]

I'm living in the netherlands, but had a great time in the early 80's in Melbourne-Australia. Went on a small sentimental journey and trying to think back what music was played at Inflation (Nightclub) at the time...

Still under construction [8D]

[Lostin_Ateys]

Holy shit! You covered it all for me!

[Coen]

Oh...sorry wasn't really aware of that.
I just exposed my Word-version of the remaining memories...

But this was the Australian story. What were the real popular Dance hits from the early 80's in, for example the USA ?

[Coen]

Adding PERFORMANCE from Tones on Tail to the Blitz night. A real New Romantic clubhit.

The actually GO !, claimed as international clubhit is strangely enough unknown from my Oz and Dutch club nights. Strange.
