SHARE: The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Volume 210

[Rissan]

I had another list of tracks planned, but due to the war in the Ukraine, which started a week ago, all changed.
Since the 24th of February I have been listening mainly to eighties Cold War songs and trying to find as much of them as possible. So part of the result of this listening and searching can be found on this Volume of the Unknown Beauty.

I have tried to keep the songs as obscure as possible, but you can't escape from the known bands who all seemed to want to write a song about the Cold War during that time.
Still I have tried to keep those band as limited as possible.
