I'm convinced that nobody could possibly be interested in a German
perspective (including myself), but this mail reminded me that I compiled
two cassettes for my thirteen year old brother last year featuring a bunch
of P!O!P! tunes stemming from the years '80-'87. Starting off with "Tender
Object" by Orange Juice you'll find an excellent selection of absolute
classic P!O!P! masterpieces also paying homage to my liking for the London
Paisley Underground.

I wouldn't mind borrowing the "masters", interested youngsters could
establish a snail mail chain forwarding the cassettes to each other for
individual dubbings or someone might volunteer to make copies for other
listees provided s/he'll be reimbursed as regards the expenses. Besides, in
my humble opinion the last decade was the most enjoyable in terms of P!O!P!
music, closely followed by the Sixties.

Only a thought ... of course, Jon would be the first recipient of said
cassettes. §;^D

And also on the unjust fella
But more upon the just because 
The unjust steals the just's umbrella
