Alright, another mixed-tape from the vault. This time it's from March of 1988 and as the tape proves, my musical taste was clearly suck on top 40 radio (sorry). There are a few tracks on the tape that are kinda obscure. I even had to do some research for a few tracks to find out who actually sang them. Does anyone remember "Don't Make a Fool of Yourself", "Give Me All Your Love" and "Another Chance To Love"? Well, you can find out below.
