dreamscometrue.jpgJon Savage is best known as the author of two excellent books on youth culture (last year’s Teenage and the punk-history classic England’s Dreaming), but he’s also put together a handful of good compilation CDs (Queer Noises and England’s Dreaming for Trikont) and is about to release another: Dreams Come True: Classic First Wave Electro: 1982-1987. The 12-inch mix of Yaz’s “Situation” makes the cut, which alone gives Savage’s comp an advantage over a number of other recent electro collections. [Fact Magazine]

    Ditto on the Teenage book. Talk about exhaustive. Let’s hope there will be a sequel (it stops at the dawn of rock ‘n roll).

    I have a Motown compilation he curated called The Shadows of Love: Intense Tamla ‘66-’68. It is essentially the Motown comp I’d been looking for since I was 13 years old. Don’t know if you can find it in the states, but I’d highly recommend this and look forward to Dreams Come True.
