In this series I will create mixes based on my teenage record collection. I kept a diary throughout the 1980s and logged every record I bought each year so can accurately recreate my archive.

During my teenage years I amassed a rather small but compact box of Punk, New Wave and Mod singles. I mainly focussed on The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers but was becoming increasingly more interested in obscure releases on independent labels.

This first mix is based on records I had (and still have) up to the end of December 1982. Everything has been digitized from those vinyl records. I even used my 1980s Technics SL-1210MK2 turntable which has survived the decades, and is still in excellent working order.
