Even though this album contains familiar songs on 1980's collection CD's like Chris DeBurgh's "Lady In Red" and Starship's "Sara", it does contain rare ones. One is "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. What a voice! Other great rarities are "Just As I Am" from Air Supply and "Never Take Us Apart" from INXS. Also included on this collaboration is "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight", and who can reject that! The rariest bonus is Sheila E.'s "A Love Bizarre", written by Prince and Sheila. Even though this is the single version, it is still worth it. This song is rarely on 1980's collections, while the album it came from, Sheila E.'s "Romance 1600" is out of print in the U.S. A reasonable price for rarities. Buy it!

I thought this was a good compilation album but focuses a little too much on the uptempo songs and not enough of the slow, love ballads, it does contain some songs that rarely appears on 80s compilation albums like Foreigner's "I Don't Want To Live Without You", Mr Mister's "Is It Love" and Crystal Gayle's "Making Up For Lost Time", overall a good compilation album for those who likes good 80s love songs and wants something a little out of the ordinary.

This is a great compilation! I originally bought just for "Tenderness" by General Public, a very rare song to find as a single, but I found so many other tracks on here that I remembered and loved growing up....
...Sheila E., Mr. Mister, Debbie Gibson!
This is also one of the best series of discs I've ever heard; I have another disc, "Only Dance, 1985-1989", that is just as phenomenal!

This is a great CD which has 20 songs on it! It has some of my favorite love songs and artists of the 80's, like 'Sara' by Starship, 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac, 'Lady in Red' by Chrs De Burgh, and 'Out of the Blue' by Debbie Gibson. These are not all slow love songs, some have a uptempo beat. I'm thinking of getting other Only Love CDs.
