MONSTER HITS - Volume 2 Hi-Nrg Non-Stop Dance Mix 1985 Disco Eurobeat Electro 80s "OUT-OF-PRINT" RARE!

 

This is Monster Hits - Volume 2 (aka "TOO"!) A non-stop Hi-Nrg mix released on 2LP set and cassette in South Africa in 1985. Some hot tracks on this one, namely Mike Mareen's dance version of Simon & Garfunkel's classic hit "Cecilia"
 
 the mega dramatic and fabulous "Helpless (you took my love)" by The Flirts, a mega remix of the huge hit "Why" by Bronski Beat, which mixes into a rare catchy underground 'Italo Sleaze' Canadian disco track by Viva called "Don't Turn Your Love Away" which is worth checking out. Also featured are x2 tracks by the mega talented Canadian husband and wife duo "LIME" singing "My Love" and "I Don't Wanna Lose You". The East Side mix kicks off with South African 80's pop group Moral Support's SA radio hit "Strange Day For Dancing", mixed into the mega huge Hi-Nrg tune "Runaway (with my love)" by TAPPS, which mixes into the mega fabulous and beautiful Galactica remix of the italo dance classic tune "Dancing In The Dark" by Mike Mareen.
