The first Poolmixes (80’s) have been given a serious makeover in the upcoming 25th Anniversary Remasters.
These were my first megamixes. I was a novice at the time and the mixes were made with the limited skills and equipment I had at the time. The sound has never been very good, all songs were primitively recorded from vinyl (and a few even from cassette tape). Yet, these mixes are still the most popular of all my productions. Poolmix 80’s are still being shared on all major platforms.
Over the years, the many downloads and conversions haven’t done the original sound quality any favor and today there are several different versions of the mixes floating around. In addition, people have created their own edits, covers and tracklists full of flaws and spelling mistakes.
I’d be the first to say that these mixes are quite primitive from a technical point of view, but the track selection is still unique and I would like everyone to at least hear them, as they were originally intended to sound. A lot of work has gone into restoring them and to improve the sound quality and I can only say that the result is far better than I could have ever hoped for. I hope you are ready to give it another spin.
