Class Of 1980

In this series, I create a lengthy mix, solemnly made with carefully selected music, intertwined with historical audio recordings, and recognisable or less recognisable movie quotes. 
All of them exactly 40 years old in the year I constructed the mix.

This concept started in 2019, with a mix from 1979.

And off we go, every year, one new edit.
