Hits of the 80s - the Ultimate Collection

Search: What Is Love - Jones- Howard (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 18, 2006
Well I love the 80's and this cd was released in 1996 so it's old now lol, but still good to listen to some of the Tunes back in the 80's...
the most rememberd one's to me are "Sinitta, T'Pau, Gloria Gaynor, Berlin, Taylor Dayne and others too... but if you loved the 80's you wont be dissapointed much there are alot of song's on the cd collection, 4 cd's altogether, cd 1 - 15 songs, cd 2 - 14 songs, cd 3 - 15 songs, cd 4 - 14 songs...

But if you want a really Top Quality Cd full of 80's get the new cd from "Top of the pops - the 80s" 3 Cd's and well worth the money... I love that Cd so much its never off my stereo...

Hope this review helps you chose in what you want...

100 Hits - 80s

Search: What Is Love - Jones- Howard (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.

Electric 80's: 25 Top 50 Hits

Search: What Is Love - Jones- Howard (1)
by: Go West

Release Date March 17, 2003
As good as the live recordings may be, ensure that you realise what you are buying before you order this CD set. Bargin as it is, if you want the original recordings you won't get them here ! The Modern Romance re-recorded CD is nothing when compared to the original 80's versions. As for Howard & Go West's live CD's, they are fine if that's what you wanted. I didn't so I was disappointed. Come on Amazon - label the CD set as "live / re-recordings" so no-one else is sorry they spent £8.99 !!

Fantastic 80's Vol.1 [Double CD]

Search: What Is Love - Jones- Howard (1)
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 23, 1998
What sets this extensive triple disc set apart from most 80's compilations is that we are spared some of the ubiquitous songs that appear on virtually every compilation from that decade.
As the title implies the emphasis here is on electric/ New Romantic music which people believe dominated that decade. Well just as punk didn't actually dominate the charts in 76/77 nor did rock n roll rule the charts in the late 50's, this kind of music wasn't actually all over the charts in the 80's. Many of these tracks are quite obscure, or are by one hit wonders, and none of the tracks are later than 1986; whereas several actually date from 1979, so it was strictly a first half of the 80's style anyway.
Of course there are some of the era's big names: ... Read More:
