This was my “depress tape” for the longest time. I’d listen to it when I’d get down, want to wallow a bit and then need something to lift my spirits. The song “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” has been “my song” since I first heard it when watching The Breakfast Club. I’m bummed that I can’t find a link to the Swing Kids soundtrack version of “Sing, Sing, Sing.” It’s fantastic.
