Modern Living by Experimental Products. They were from Philly and the two members, Michael Gross and Mark Wilde, did everything…all music, writing, art, recording, production, etc.. Everything.

This is the first track on their only full length album, Prototype, from 1982.

Woman in Love by Barbra Streisand. 1980 hit single that seems to have been remade sometime a bit later into a much faster tune and used frequently by one of my RPM instructors.

Everywhere that I’m Not by Translator. 1982 hit from the album Heartbeats and Triggers.
