4.0 out of 5 stars
Thank you Nipper for helping make my life complete,
This review is from: Nipper's Greatest Hits The 80's (Audio CD)
I already had most of these songs on each artist's respective Greatest Hits packages. I relgiously listend to American Top 40 from 1979 until 1991 when Casey Kasem left the show over a contract dispute and started his own countdown based on charts other than Billboard Magazine. I have recently been trying to get all of the Top 40 songs from that period on CD. This CD provided 3 missing pieces to my collection: "Hooked on Classics", "Puttin' on the Ritz", and "Funkytown". These gems from the 80's are great to hear again after many years. My only reason not for giving it 5 stars is that I wish it had included more rare to CD hits from RCA such as Larry Elgart's "Hooked on Swing" or a true rarity such as the late Rodney Dangerfields "Rappin' Rodney" which peaked out at #83 in early 1984. In any case, the CD is great and highly recommended.

Get it because it's cheap,

This review is from: Nipper's Greatest Hits The 80's (Audio CD)
This CD is a good cheap collection of 80s songs. The unifying theme is that they were all released under the RCA label ("Nipper" refers to the dog in the RCA logo), and they all made it into one chart or another. It's certainly not easy to listen to straight through. Songs were taken from country and pop charts, and the arrangement of songs seems to be specifically designed to alternate selections from the two disparate charts. Where else can you hear "Funkytown" lead into a tears-in-my-beer country lament?Let's face it. You probably would only want it because it has one or two songs you like and you can't find them anywhere else. So your main concerns are whether the sound quality is good and whether the songs appear in their entirety. On that basis, this disc is good. If you're making your own 80s collection for the car, this disc is a good source to record from. Its worth beyond that is debatable.
