Customer Reviews

' A Great Value Set'
Containing so many songs, this is without doubt a very good value buy. If you loved the 80's then there are sure to be a plethora of your particular favourites here. The only snag for me with this collection being that, as a big 80's fan, I have most of these tracks multiple times over on other compilations. It's a pity there are no minor 80's hits on this collection to 'freshen up the tried and tested tracks and evoke memories of the era once again' either. I'm sure a lot of people out there would love a decent compilation like this that also included some rather less obvious selections by some of the acts to give them something really special to buy this for. Stuff like 'Space Age Lovesong' by A Flock Of Seagulls or 'Europe After The Rain' by John Foxx are not unobtainable on CD but never seem to crop up on these kind of compilations. Seeing as an 80's no 40 hit probably out sold a noughties number one, a lot of the tracks that didn't hit the top ten in those days were still extremely popular and it would be nice to have them in amongst the obvious stuff once in a while. This said I'm sure a lot of people will be over the moon with this collection and I must admit it is difficult to ever tire of hearing such classics as 'Vienna' by Ultravox, 'Ashes To Ashes' by Bowie and era defining records like 'Baggy Trousers' by Madness...aaahhh those nutty boys eh?

101 80s Hits
Although I have a lot of 80s albums and records, this one has a lot I do not own and compared to a lot of other 80s compilations there were plenty of different records for me to add to my archive. I particulary liked the 2 tone selection and despite some of the obvious cringe records... Kylie, Limahl, Kjagoogoo, this album represented good value for money. If you do not own any 80s music this will be a good start!

best mothers day present ever
If you loved 80's music this is a must for your collection it is the best 80's compilation that i own. Out of 101 tracks there are about 2 i don't like.
Finally someone somewhere has put together a fantastic compilation album with songs that everybody will know and love. What more can i say about A++++++
