Three new music titles are out this week and all of them deep-rooted in the ’80s, definitely the bestdecade for music.

Finally, if your only experience of this last band was a Top 20 hit in 1986, Radio Africa – andthat was certainly the case for me – increase your knowledge with this 20=track set at 1986 gigLatin Quarter: Live at Full House Rock Show in Hanover, with songs including No Ordinary Return,Sandinista, New Millionaires, Burn Again and Modern Times.
