Radio Berlin - Dance The Youth E.P. (1982)

Nice 7" from the United States here. Radio Berlin was formed in 1981 by members of the band Futurisk (from my home state of Florida ;D). They released this 7'' and the track "Go Down" on a local compilation before dissapearing. Some pretty interesting lyrics on this one, I'm sure you'll see what I mean. Plenty of raw, analog synth as well. Enjoy.

Track List:

A1 - Gare Du Nord
B1 - Dance The Youth
B2 - Political Pop

    - Why? Do you really think we've left a single cheap copy left in the net or shops? Or are you one of these collectors paying lousy US sellers ridiculously ammounts for totaly over-priced vinyls? It's really no need feeding especially those newcomers from high school with hard-earned $$$ ...

    No. You are probably friends with the lead singer of Futurisk. Radio Berlin spun off from Futurisk. The lead singer of Radio Berlin, Frank Lardino, still lives in Florida.

    I was the drummer (Vinnie) in Radio Berlin from its founding in 1981 to 1983.
    Somewhere I have a small box of this EP, all mint.
    I knew Jeff the bass player from High School, and Mike and Frank thru Jeff during our years with Futurisk before we left.
    A great bunch of musicians as well as friends.
