Overseas - Tdk-81 is a special tape. ( Misses B-side )

81 is a special tape. The special feature of the tape is, that it didn't have it's traditional Thursday evening opening in my study. Where the tapes were played with the ... hmm . . . traditional equipment.

China on the A-side didn't originally refer to China. It referred to medias. By the time tape was recorded, there was an association between China and the medias. Do not remember it, and I haven't wrote it down afterwards. By the time tape was recorded, China was a very poor country, it had troubles with human rights. Possible that China was accused from Violations of Human rights. And China responded with missile attack against some neighboring country. Sort of lost nerves and started to act.

There is also a radio them on the a-side.

The Finnish Santa Claus song was much like nudity in some movies. It makes Great Adventures sound much better than without it.

There are also four of my all time favorites on the tape. Chinese eyes, Let's Live It Up, Touch In the Night and Great Adventures belong to my personal favorites.

I have also liked the simple German song Da-Da-Da, performed by Trio. Very popular song from the year 1982.

? Another tape which lives in a relationship with this one, Tdk-41, is also a special tape. It is funeral tape. Contains I songs from the record I used to play, when some important person from our organization died. A side is named "Thanks a Million", B side is "Theme for a dream"

* Finnish Song. Tells a story about Santa Claus having booze and fun in the Summer.
Teases Children, runs naked everywhere, chases women, married, single, everyone.
Finally he makes a breakthrough. He and actions are the number one news all over the world.
He also ends up in to the front pages of the tabloids.

8. Live It Up - 1986
9. Main Radio has also Nina Hagen song with English lyrics. The English name is Universal Radio.
Rock me baby : Johnny Nash, Hello Africa : Dr Alban, Azurro : Adriano Celentano
