100 Hits - 80s

Search: First Picture Of You - Lotus Eaters (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 24, 2008
I can't believe the reviewer (Debbie) who says she didn't know most of these tracks! If she was there in the 1980s, she must have had ear plugs in and a paper bag over her head! This album is a great compilation at a bargain price - fantastic for listening to in the car, or quizzing your mates (who was that?), or demonstrating your vast knowledge of 1980s pop trivia. For the discerning listener, this series of albums prompts wider research into some of these artists - the excellent Blancmange, for example, and whatever happened to Kon Kan?
At less than £1 per disc, this is amazing value. For those who weren't there it provides a pretty good overview of what was happening in that decade.

Release Date June 19, 2006
Having grown up in Manchester as a teenager, and living breathing the post-punk, factory records, music scene, it was with great interest i stumbled upon this album. It was exciting to hear some of the tunes i had long since forgoten about.
Playing it had me reminiscing about hanging round record stalls in the underound market and Butter lane antiques Market wearing long rain coats, and queing up outside HMV, to buy 'Blue Monday' on its first day of release.
I agree with the previous reviewer whole heartedly regarding choice of tracks. Some were too obvious. Durutti Column 'sketch for summer' in particular, i'm sure they've done other tracks but every compilation of this kind has that track on it. Some were an unlikely choices, why ... Read More:
