Self Help Radio 011615: 1979

(Original image here)

Well, after all this reminiscing about 1979, it's about time there was some music!  Here's around two hours of music from that year, hopefully presented in a pleasing manner, along with facts about the year that I gathered from summary sites & spat back to you.  Who needs Google on the radio?
