Two Aussie oldies just played on Coast FM 963 (Central Coast):

Child’s Play - Sherbet (instead of the usual ‘Howzat’ and ‘Summer Love’).
Keep on Smiling - John Paul Young (instead of the usual ‘Love is in the Air’ and ‘Yesterday’s Hero’).

Great to hear lesser known hits from these artists.

Love ‘Child’s Play’. 2XL used to play it quite a bit before they modernised the format a few years back.

Child’s Play is a great song and to me it’s just the quintessential 70s vibe.

Early 90s B105 and MMM would play a lot of Enigma. It was a time when world music was quite popular. Both stations would also play Deep Forest as well.

Other tracks that received airplay at the time which didn’t fit the typical radio airplay sound include Julie Cruise - Falling and Lily was here - Dave Stewart.
