Dire Straits - Where Do You Think You're Going.

Strangely enough I have a different version on my Dire Straits Money For Nothing Cassette from 1988. I Can only think of it being the B-side single to Lady Writer, though I don't know.

1979 I was me finding friends a little older than me and with a little different musical experiences. I remember seeing a promotion video for “Another Brick In The Wall, part 2” after a session of backyard boxing.
“Rock N Roll Fantasy” was always on the radio and at one friend’s house, the Dream Police album was also in heavy rotation.
I was learning to like more music than just The Beatles and The Carpenters.
I still love the guitar work on “My Sharona”

Brad Ellis here got Marshall Chess to co-produce this great New York post punk album.

Alda Reserve - Some Get Away.

Recommend this comp.... Dedicated to the year of this thread... Blend of 'growed up punk' and treading the waters of pre-electro pop.
