SHARE NEW: A Ghost Guide To The 80s Vol. 5

Postby Rissan » Sun Oct 26, 2025 11:53 pm

Original started as one of the volumes for "The Continuous Beauty Of The Unknown 80s" series, the list of tracks grew and grew when digging the 1980s "Ghost" songs on Discogs. I was surprised by the amount of tracks written in the eighties with "Ghost" in the title.

So in the end, when found half of the search list, I already went over the 10 single discs. So I played with the idea to present it as 10 separate volumes in the series. But this changed rapidly when the amount grew to 11 single discs not including the songs, already presented in "The Unknown Beauty Of The 80s" series, which I wanted to present as a bonus disc.

So after a lot of thoughts I decided to bring this list of tracks as a separate series named "A Ghost Guide To The 80s".
This created the opportunity to go for the well-known names as well.

With a total of 299 tracks, this is by far the biggest project ever undertaken. And still 53 tracks are not counted for.

Meanwhile the result has grown to 9 volumes, 8 double discs and one single disc with the bonus material, which will be presented over the next months.

So here is Volume 5 - Salmiak Geist

Please note, this in NO way is intended to take away sales from any of the artists included here
but rather a way to discover or rediscover these timeless masterpieces.
Please support these artists and bands if they should have material available! They deserve all the credit!
