5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Great 80s Compilations, April 3, 2010

This review is from: 80's Wave - Entertainment Weekly (Audio CD)

There was cheezy 80s music, and then there was New Wave Music.
Most of this is New Wave music.
All of them were big hits.
And it sounds great too. Mastered before the loudness wars.
