Editorial Reviews

2008 three CD set. The '80s wasn't all about goofy haircuts, bright-colored clothes and sunglasses at night. It was also about sexy, sassy and sweaty Dance grooves as featured on the previous 12 Inch/80s titles. This time, the grooves are supplied by many of the decade's finest R&B acts who scored high in the charts and clubs around the world. Features 35 tracks from artists such as Luther Vandross, D Train, Chaka Khan, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Young MC, De La Soul, Ollie & Jerry, The Pointer Sisters, Bobby Brown, Kurtis Blow and many others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Many ripped from vinyl, September 18, 2011

Beware that you will hear pops on many of these tracks. Gregory Isaacs Night Nurse extended for example has so many in one section of the song that it actually diminishes the value of listening to it. At least if this were the actual vinyl, you would be able to try to work them out, but you're stuck with them on this CD. Think about that before you drop the price for this CD that sellers want.

4.0 out of 5 stars not rare enough, September 2, 2010

12" 80s Grooves, the most recent volume has a lot of great tracks on it. It falls short with me, however, as guys like me collected all of these tunes on the original 12" vinyl format and still have em. A lot of tunes i look for are quite elusive, even more so than the tunes represented on this cd, if that can be believed. Hopefully, they will dig even deeper on the next volume of this series.
