Let's follow up last year's "Like, a Totally Awesome '80s Halloween Mix" with some covers and their originals that fit the occasion. Yes, there are a couple of repeats here, but there are more treats than tricks. Cross my heart... The real curiosity of the group is keyboard wizard Steve Nieve of the Attractions doing a take on my favorite Specials tune. I think there is a pretty good chance you don't have that one. I bought it nearly 20 years ago on a two-for-one disc of his two solo albums, 'Keyboard Jungle' (1983) and 'Playboy' (1987). I hope you enjoy it. Be safe this weekend.
