3.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for the selection of the music, 0 stars for Rhino, October 4, 2000

This is a great selection of music for this new wave compilation, and I consider it one of my favorites from this series. However, BUYERS BEWARE: Rhino has shortened the length of several of these songs. I am not sure why they do this, but it is really irritating. Most of the time it is annoyingly obvious how they "instantly" edit these songs (the ending of the song just fades in a matter of seconds).

A strong entry in the "New Wave Hits" series, Volume 9 contains some of the best known songs of the era. "Melt with You", "Blister in the Sun" and "Save it for Later" are early 80's anthems. Duran Duran's "Rio" and ABC's "Poison Arrow" were huge MTV hits. Each of these tunes will be immediately familiar to anyone who grew up in the early 80's. Also worthy are Marshall Crenshaw's "Whenever You're on My Mind" and "Love My Way", a classic from the Psychedelic Furs. Once again, Rhino is to be commended for keeping alive the great music of a bygone era. Thirtysomethings who actually experienced this fun, upbeat music will no doubt love this collection. Sure beats the heck out of today's "music". Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 80s compilation, June 13, 2000

One of the better efforts from this series. Has at least ten sure-fire hits that ring the bell, with several that aren't bad at all. Classics from the early 80s are "Love My Way," "Save It for Later," "Blister in the Sun," and "I Melt with You." Throw in "Rio," "Too Shy," and "Poison Arrow," and you can't go wrong for the price. An excellent place to start an 80s collection, or fill those missing pieces. Highly recommended.
