Pure Pop thrives on singles and twelve inches, and this week’s mix features some prime examples. We kick off with a blend of the single and dub (version) mix of "Absolute." The first segment is packed with quintessential New Pop tracks from Hipsway, Kajagoogoo, and Duran Duran. Of course, no New Pop mix would be complete without Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

In the middle section, we dive into some rare mid-eighties twelve inches, featuring Thomas Dolby's "The Devil Is An Englishman" and William Orbit’s eighties band Torch Song with their twelve-inch mix of "Tattered Dress."

We wrap up this week's mix with four Italo disco gems from Video, Doctor’s Cat, My Mine, and Bandolero, ensuring a vibrant and eclectic end to our Pure Pop journey.
