i will just ignore the previuos guys comments about this cd, for this is the stuff that i've been looking for time and time again! hey, if the original masters weren't available, i'll take a remaster from the vinyl resources any day. some of the cuts i am familiar with, like konk's "it's your life", lime's 'on the grid', and a few others. "hot music may have came out in the 90's, but hey, like i said, i'll take 'em anyway i can get 'em! so if your feeling like you need your 80's dance fix, pick this one up and dance your cool spirits away!!

..cuz i had to pay 80p to rent this cd from the library, but hey, i woulda paid twice that amount for this sweet collection. yeahhhh, this is what im talking about, when in need of escape from the monotony of modern cheese, the smell of this mature variety seems to improve with age. i'd be fascinated to know what it feels like to listen to this stuff with the ears of a modern day teenager, but for this 30 something, it feels like the last 20 years never happened. Well done Rhino, more please. Can i go rock my body now?

Although it's great to see all of these songs together in a somewhat comprehensive package (except for Pal Joey's 'Hot Music' which has nothing to do with the 80's theme since it's a 90's Acid jazz track).

The main glaring problem with this collection is that it's mostly culled from VINYL recordings, featuring pops and crackles on just about all the songs on this CD.

These are NOT digital masters of the recordings, just someone putting their very used record collection on CD.

I'm shocked that a company of Rhino's stature would release something of this poor quality.

Who's sleeping on the job over at quality control there? Or was that position eliminated?.

Avoid this CD unless you just really want to hear the tunes, no matter what the quality. Great idea, bad execution (a lot of that going around these days).

And to the schelps over at Rhino; you're on notice.
