5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best!, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the '80s, Vol. 13 (Audio CD)

Songs like Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't it Be Good" and The Special AKA's "Nelson Mandela" make this easily the best volume in this 15 volume series. Nik Kershaw fans beware: An edited version of "Wouldn't it Be Good" appears here.

4.0 out of 5 stars best singular '80s compilation out there, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the '80s, Vol. 13 (Audio CD)

While this compilation manages to have unappealing tracks ("Girls", "Free Nelson Mandela"), there are some really nice songs on here. "Hold Me Now" and "Cruel Summer" are really great songs to commute to, and "The Stand" is a powerful and anthemic delight. "Wouldn't It Be Good" is delectable and "Whisper to a Scream" is a rare gem. This is a must buy for anyone wanting an '80s compilation that doesn't contain the usual hackneyed "hitsapalooza". I even liked "Hero Takes a Fall" and I never knew I could like a Bangles song!

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH TWICE THE ASKING PRICE, October 2, 2000

Worth twice the asking price just for Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good!! Rest of the tracks are "vintage" 80s' also. The whole Just Can't Get Enough series is a must for 80s' music fans. Absolutely no clunkers!!!
