4.0 out of 5 stars 45's without the scratches, January 25, 2003

While there are uncountable compilation CD's of 70's and 80's tunes available, this piece showcasing top-40 hits from those decades stays truer to the actual hit versions by presenting the single edit versions not usually, if ever, found on other CD's. Though tunes such as Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance" and Rupert Holmes' "Him" are not rarities on CD themselves, here you get the 45 version as remembered from the top-40 radio playlists. And while these single versions qualify as "lost 45's", there are several tunes included here that are seldom, if ever, found on CD such as Kenny Nolan's "Love's Grown Deep", his follow-up to "I Like Dreamin'", Tycoon's "Such A Woman" and "Breaking Away" by Balance among others. While the track count here for a reissue disc is on the meager side, this piece does provide a refreshing dose of 70's and 80's pop.

Production-wise, this is a high-quality effort with excellent sound quality and an informative eight-page liner notes booklet providing interesting background on the included tracks. For fans of the genre, the casual listener and avid collector alike should find this CD a worthwhile addition to their collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Forgotten Hits, June 23, 2000

Great collection of hard to find hits from the 70's and 80's. Includes two of my favorites songs from 1984 (A Fine Fine Day and Modern Day Delilah). You rarely hear these songs anymore. Hopefully this series will continue with a Volume 3 soon

This compilation is full of hard-to-get Top 40 classics that, in some case, left the radio airwaves a long time ago. Songs like "More than just the two of us"-Sneaker, "Modern Day Delilah"-Van Stephenson, and much more songs will transport you back to a time that seemed to generate more memorable songs. The sound quality is really good, and clean sounding. I would recommend this CD to anyone that likes Top 40, AM radio music from the '80s. Some of these songs were never released on CD, it's great!
