Hello, thank you as always for joining me here on Talk of Ages, as is usually, thankfully

the case we have a robust assortment of music to revisit that was new in August of 1985.

But if, as you near the end of the show, you find yourself wondering, yeah, sure, that's the stuff that was successful. That's the stuff that was actually good.

Pantara, some painfully late era, Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons, and about 10 more audio

odds and ends from August 85.
