4.0 out of 5 stars Finally -- American Radio Version of Rock Me Amadeus - Falco, May 27, 2006

On every 80's collection I own (and I do have a lot) Rock Me Amadeus by Falco is featured only as the German Version. This is the only collection I found with the American radio edit with the dates detailing Mozart's life. So for that reason alone, it may be worth it to get it. Otherwise is seems the same as every other 80's collection out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock Me Amadeus, March 18, 2007

This is a nice compilation of the 80's, it's only essential for collectors like me because it contains 3 rare track versions.

The first one is the 4 munites and 4 seconds edit of "I Know There's Something Going On" which is now only available on Frida's album "Something's Going On" as bonus track.

The second song is Tears For Fears "Shout" that clocks at 4 minutes and 6 seconds which again is only available on the latest DELUXE re-issue of "Songs From The Big Chair".

The third and last song is Falco's rare "Canadian Version" (4 minutes and 8 seconds) which is an edit to the 8 minutes and 21 seconds of "Salieri Version" that was released on the US version CD of "Falco 3" by A&M records in 1985. However, I noticed many of you are trying to locate this song without paying big $$$ for the long deleted Falco 3 CD and you can only find it on 2 CDs, one of them is Falco 'Hit Singles' released by Warner in 1998 again now it's out-of-print (try Amazon Germany for a cheaper second hand) and the other one titled "I love Techno Pop vol.2" which is still in print only in Spain and by the way an awesome compilation of 12inch hits, you can find it and buy it at Blanco Y Negro official website.

Anyway, a must for hardcore fan of the 80's.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 80's is our generation and our music!, December 20, 2004

This review is from: More Pure 80's (Audio CD)

For those who lived through the Reagan years, we know how great life was. Big hair, big eyeshadow, Jordache Jeans and neon sweaters for the girls, and checkered Vans sneakers, painter caps, and Op T-shirts for the guys. Oh how we loved those days, and we miss them terribly. Fortunately the music and good times live on. Sure maybe Toni Basil's 'Micky' is missing, but look at these songs!

'Would I lie to You' was a great song from the Eurrhythmics and nothing can get a party hopping quicker than Annie Lennox belting out angst.

And who could forget 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves? That is the theme song to over a hundred 80's movies!

In the mood for love? Give 'Look of Love' a spin and let ABC bring you closer to your GAL.

Wanna get crazy? 'Rock me Amadeous' is one of the top ten things that came out of the 80's! It's right behind the fall of the Berlin Wall!

And hey, you remember that special girl you had in the 80's? Yeah you know the one. The first girl that ever let you get to third base? You remember how cute she was with that special strawberry sparkle lipstick? Well you haven't seen her in close to 20 years and she's probably a fat housewife right now with an unresponsive husband. But just give 'Rio' a spin and in your mind she'll be back in your arms while you're desperaetly trying to unhook her bra in the back of your dad's 1977 Dodge Aspen.

Aw those were the days, that was the music, and life just hasn't been the same since.
