The Second British Invasion: How Naked Eyes and Synth-Pop Redefined Dance Music

The Twelve Inch 103 : "Promises Promises" (Naked Eyes)

Welcome! You've arrived at the new edition of The Twelve Inch, fully dedicated to telling the story of a musical format that helped shape dance music into the force it is today. The twelve-inch vinyl record was popular from the late disco period until the early nineties. Each week, I tell the story of one of these twelve-inch/extended versions, released during that period, against the backdrop of what was happening in dance music at that time. I'll take you behind the scenes and talk about the real heroes of the twelve-inch format (besides the artists and producers, of course): the remixers and editors.
