Party Mix 1

I guess the party season made me think of trying my own hand at something that might get people dancing, so here it is.

Of course this presented me with a dilemma in that I felt the selection needed a certain mainstream appeal, yet those who know me, or even if you've just followed previous stuff on here, will know I don't entirely do mainstream!

So the result is necessarily a compromise. Absolutely no Abba - sorry, just can't do it, but we do have Big Bang with their cover of Voulez Vous. Feels Like I'm in Love by Kelly Marie has always been a crowd pleaser, yet I somehow prefer the 1995 remake to the original. Pretty much all the other tracks, apart from Vera and Debbie Jacobs, were hits in their day.

Anyway judge for yourselves, would this get you off your chair? At least for a couple of tracks maybe?
