Format:Audio CD
If you are here to find an 80's compliation disc, with a same old bubblegum, upbeat soundtrack, littered with the corpses of acts from the Stock, Aitken & Waterman era, look away now!

It might be a shock to some people who think that "decent" 80's music is limited to Wham!, Culture Club and U2 - and "Alternative" 80's compliations seem to be chocka with New Wave numbers only, and sound almost idential - huge hits, huge artists, but offer nothing you cannot already find in a generic compliation. However, if you are looking for real 80's music, a compilation with more than one dimension, a good mix of genres and discover great tracks from artists you know (and great music from artists you don't), then stop your search!

I haven't been able to stop listening to this since I uploaded it onto my iPod - it's become the soundtrack of my morning commute. To me, this was worth it just to get my mitts on hard to find tracks like Monochrome Set (Monochrome Set), Big Area (Then Jericho) and Run Me Down (The Higsons), and also songs from well known artists that seem to be pushed to the sidelines by more popular tracks like Sound of the Crowd (Human League), Don't Tell Me (Blancmange) and Working with Fire and Steel (China Crisis) but the tracks, as they run compliment the next wonderfully, which makes this compilation even more enjoyable to listen to!

Though personally, I agree with an earlier review that Jona Lewie should not have been on there (I sense it's only because of a certain Scandinavian furniture store using it in an ad campaign might have something to do with the temporary surge in interest), and perhaps maybe an Associates track instead (Club Country, anyone?).

This takes me back to when I used to play with my mother's records, dressed top to toe in polka dots (I was obsessed with Strawberry Switchblade when I was very young) and record songs from the radio using a tape-deck when I was little - I am 28 now, and still learning about terrific music. Personally, the compliation would be perfect was it not for one or two tracks, but it's definately the best one out there by miles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Proper 80s tunes 28 Feb 2011
Format:Audio CD
I remember taking a lot of time crafting mixtapes in the 80s and this album covers off the best bands of the time - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, Talk Talk, Prefab Sprout, Everything But The Girl, REM, Prince, Aztec Camera and The Smiths. Great 3CD set and a time saver meaning you don't have to go digging out the old vinyl and CD singles from the loft. A great insight into the era when home taping was allegedly killing music. And they thought it was bad then...

5.0 out of 5 stars About time! 3 Mar 2011
Format:Audio CD
Showing my age in that I had to squint to read the advert for this at the station this morning! But about time there was a release of some of the good music of the 80's as I'm fed up with the usual 80's dribble, this certainly goes in the right direction, how great to listen to Lloyd Cole, Prefab Sprout & Echo & The Bunnymen again without having to get my vinyl out, now if only a alternative 80's club night could start....

p.s if you want to listen to a good 80's show, try Q Radio on a Sunday night xx

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it but have to skip quite a few songs.
I liked this 80's mixtape, for me there where enough songs to keep me entertained, however I had to skip quite a few to get to the good ones. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
Just the right balance of the big songs which are still played nowadays & classics from the 80s that have fallen off the playlists. Sounds as fresh now as it did then...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Album
This is a good album with a decent mixture of songs - better than most mix albums. Disc 2 is the best though, in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lay down your raincoats and groove
Long before the advent of the Ipod the obsession with making your own mix tapes in the 80s was widespread. Wired for sound through via your sony walkman, ghetto blaster or car. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent alternative 80's collection
So nice to have a compilation that includes songs you will not always think of but know enough of the words to have a bash at singing along to!

This brilliant album takes me back in all the right ways to the mix tape era, when you'd swap tapes with your mates, taking hours crafting your own compilations - not of the Top 40... Read more
