Pretty good list there. Good to see a rarer ABBA song for a start. The Bananarama and Laura Branigan songs are winners for me too. I like the mix of older and newer songs.

I did attempt to record it. I got half of it I think. My audials has issues with the system sleeping. Itās a flashback to the old days of VCR recording when the timer fails.

Does Outfield has any songs that charted in Australia?

No, never have. I had never heard of them until I heard a member died last week.

The Outfield only made it big in the States and only briefly; they never had a charter in their native UK or Australia.
