This is the ultimate 80's collection. All the classics you know plus some interesting stuff you may not have heard before.

CD Reviews
A Fantastic Bargain and an Adventure to Boot
Danaphile | San Francisco, CA USA | 02/04/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"There are eight discs, each containing 18 tracks, and they want $42? Anyone who does the math will realize that paying under $6 per disc is a great deal, even if you don't know half of the songs. Many of the songs on this collection only became popular in Europe, so U.S. audiences are bound to make a discovery or two. It's well worth the price, especially if you're open to hearing hits from other parts of the world."
A must have box set of high quality songs from a great era
Elak Swindell | Georgia USA | 06/28/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Being a BIG fan of 1980s era music, finding this 8 CD box set was really a treasure. Sure, I have a lot of the songs available on the discs in my huge 80s MP3 song collection (16 discs worth so far and still growing), but there are so many others included that I would never have known about or heard since they only aired in the UK. Of course, there are a few other excellent European music artists that do not show up in the set. People like Shakin' Stevens, Don McLean, English Beat and Madness; but they can be mostly found in other collected sets (with the exception of Shakin' Stevens, which is a shame, because his rock n' roll music is excellent). My only complaint about this box collection is the lack of information in concerns to the album each song was taken from and the confusion I have about the two numbers after each title (for example: Adrian Gurvitz: Classic 3,39). Does this mean track 3, Billboard rating 39? I don't know. Other than this minor issue, I highly recommend this CD set for any fan of the 80s music era. You won't be disappointed at the selection and quality."
Something familiar, something new
Neitu | Finland | 07/14/2004

"This box set has something for everyone, especially if you want an idea of what was popular in Europe during the Eighties, i.e. names like Sandra, Kajagoogoo, Mel & Kim, Duran Duran, Ultravox... Many, many big hits and a bunch of unknown gems for those who want to explore."
Caveat Emptor: look at the song list before purchasing.
D. Portlock | Honolulu, Hawaii | 02/12/2008

"There are some very obscure and unfamiliar songs included on these 8 cds. Not sure where they were "hits" because I never heard them before. Maybe they were top 40 in places like the middle east or europe in the 80s - I don't know. I didn't like most of them. I think after reviewing all the disks I liked perhaps 15 songs in the entire collection. There is nothing wrong with the disks or the music. The Quality is good. Just be sure that you review the song list before purchasing."
Lots of Great Music at a Good Price
Amanda L. Davis | Adrian,MI USA | 04/05/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"First of all, you get 8 CDs worth of music and it isn't all that expensive. If you only like the really popular overplayed music from the 80's like Cindy Lauper or The Bangles, I would skip this one, though, and buy something else. There are some familiar songs here like "Love is a Battlefield," "Betty Davis Eyes," "Freeze Frame," "Centerfold," and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." There are a lot more obscure songs, but they are still good. There were only about 10 songs that I thought were really terrible. I believe this is worth checking out."
