I was 9 years old and probably went to K-Mart with my Mom as I would've been off school on summer break. The Toto song after the ladies wear ad just brings me right back. We lost our last K-Mart in this area years ago, but these tapes....man. What a great collection.

The edit to Steely Dan's Hey Nineteen towards the end of the tape was fun. Such conservative times at Kmart. Thank you Mark for the countless hours of listening enjoyment...

Squeebeast the first song is called "Cry in the Night" by Instrumental Group Cabas. Good luck!

wow..after months of searching..i finally found the mystery tune i looked for..its the first tune on this tape..somehow i fell in love with it..does anyone know its name???

Pretty good stuff again...Some interesting songs I had not heard before...Selections include Toto's "I Won't Hold You Back", Chris De Burgh's "Crying And Laughing", Crystal Gayle's "The Woman In Me" (from 1981's "Hollywood, Tennessee" album), Kenny Nolan's "Soft Rock, Hard Love", Sergio Mendes' "My Summer Love" (from 1982's "Sergio Mendes" album), Rita Coolidge's version of Joe Jackson's "Fools In Love", and Kenny Nolan's "Broken Dreams, Broken Promises" (from his 1982 album, "Head To Toe")...There are instrumental versions of Starship's "Sara" and Smokey Robinson's "Being With You" that I can't identify, but I did identify Paul Mauriat's version of Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover" and the Ferrante & Teicher version of The Carpenters' "Superstar"...There is a duet after the version of "Sara" that I'd like to identify, though...
